Last but not least, the kit came with O2 extensions, new header bolts, catback to X pipe gaskets, V-Band clamps, and Cometic MLS header gaskets.

These headers are super nice! I have a new set that I'm selling right now because a rod bearing let go in my motor. I need funds to make the repair so the headers have to go!

Keep us updated with your results!

Now they just need to make them for the f-body. I'll take a set in the 1 7/8 primary version please. Let's see what they can do on a FI 347....

Someone really needs to teach those boys how to weld; seen better welds out of a Jr. High shop class.

Those look big time! In for the #'s when you tune it.

So, Dave, how's the Vette compared to the SS?

Anything Pfadt makes I've heard that Tri-Y's give the exhaust a unique sound, Corsa's already sound really unique, I'm excited to hear this set-up.

I'll be honest... I miss the raw GRUNT and power of the Camaro. I miss the "not gonna merge in front of me" SNAP that the Camaro had.

Perfect example: today, going to pick up my daughter from school. Girl (old) in a yellow convertible C6 Corvette decided to cut in front of me where a 2 lane merges into one. In the SS, I would have went to 3rd, blipped it to the guy in front is mes bumper, and that would've been that. With this car... Not so much. The torque and "snap" are missing.

Not a knock on the car at all. I can feel a weight difference big time. Even with a mainly stock LS1 it's a lot quicker. But as far as being aggressive and getting in that snappy powerband... Yeah, it's lacking.

Hopefully after the header install and having Geoff @ EPS throw a tune on her, I can think more clearly about heads / cam direction.

I agree they need to make some F-Body 1 7/8 headers. If they price them well, they will become the premium F-Body header and sell like hot cakes.

I think you'll really enjoy it when you go H/C/I with it. Looking forward to hearing it roar after they're on!

Yeah, typed it on a I-Touch and couldn't figure out how to add it. Didn't really feel it was needed; those things are unreal.

Did you thermal coat them yourself? How much did that cost? Looks really good.
