Default Stainless Works Headers?

I can buy a set of Stainless Works 1 3/4's long tubes for $375. I can't find too much info on these so I'm just looking for any opinions or dyno numbers. Also, does anyone know what y pipe you can use with these?

I have heard they are very nice but have never seen a set. Just have a shop fab up a Y for you with a flowmaster merge and should be pretty nice setup...

I have this set. It's really nice. They tuck up really high so you won't have to worry about them scraping when you lower your car. I got mine mated to bassani true duals.

My numbers are skewed.

My car dynoed 317.x rwhp and ran 12.2 @ 110

At that time my LS6 intake/28 lb inj wasn't tuned for the car and it was stalled auto.

Mods were ls6 intake along w/ the 28lb inj, lid, full exhaust, 3.42 rear, Yank ST 3500 auto-EFI live tuned for the shiftpoints-etc, and MT ET streets.

Just got my Stainless Works headers on Friday. They look great; very high quality. I'm having a shop fab up some true duals with single chamber flowmasters. Have you thought about doing duals?
