Vettes are a biatch to put headers on.

Definitely

F-body’s are a piece of cake, or some degree of that depending on header selection. Vettes are a far more difficult install.

Wait, you can put longtubes on a vette? I thought they were limited to shorties or mid-lengths...?

How do I know, I've done about 10 different C5 header installs. Personally I like my TTS's, but again flanges suck.

Oh, f-bodies seem to be easier, but i've only done two cars.
