Considering hes has the X-pipe and duals, rasp should not be an issue.


OP. Usually better to ask about parts and then buy, instead of buy and then ask.

I have them on my C5, They dropped right in and fit perfectly. I had to remove the steering linkage but that was it. Other headers require the motor to be jacked up or the starter removed. They sealed right up with GM gaskets and a year later even being a daily driver here in rain soaked FL they still look great.

Quality is great, you will compromise ground clearance, and sound will be amazing (both amazingly loud and amazing tone).
