Default Quality of dynatech's new stainless LT headers?

Has anyone installed the new stainless steel dynatech headers? They look like some of the best LT's out there. Just wondering if they are worth the $1300 for the LT's and Y pipe. By the way this is the only company to make a stainless y pipe.

from reading here, they have slip on flanges and leak. Mostly the drag guys run them. I have no personal experience with them.

Regarding the y-pipe, have you tried Stainless Works? I replied to you before about this in another thread, but Stainless Works indicated to me over email that their y-pipe for their long tubes is 304 stainless steel. The cats they use (or will use) are Catco.

If you talked to them and found out different, I sure would like to know. I am partial to having a 304 stainless steel y-pipe myself.

I have a set of kooks headers and ory and the y pipe is aluminized steel same with qtp. They claim that it would cost to much to build a ss y pipe and people wouldnt want to pay it something like $400 more. As far a stainless works I have not got a hold of them and I would not even think about slp because off ground clearance reasons.
