Default QTP Headers for a C5 Corvette

New to this forum, but I am searching from someone who has installed the QTP headers on their C5 Corvette. Looking for some performance informaiton and installation information. Hoping to buy my headers this fall and QTP is one of three left on my list that I am still considering.

Thanks in advance.

Actually, now I remember. Those are the tri-Ys. Don't think I've ever seen anybody with them yet.

For my third post in a row, I have TPIS headers along with RT x-pipe, and when it comes time to replace this setup (rust), I will be going with Kooks or LG. They are the 2 best ones on the market.

I am expecting the QTP's will really help in the lower RPM range as well as peak HP due to the design. I looked at the Kooks, too hard to install and they seem to be designed for the peak number. The LG's are very expensive but still on my list of final three. The QTP's really have my curiosity peaked, but no-one seems to have any experience with them yet.

We have been slow to get them finished. It took way longer than expected to build the tri y headers. We are finished and will be getting them out to some of our customer to get more feedback on them. If you interested give me a call.

Just a side note, I noticed that they fit the RT mid pipe. I am assuming this means the collectors are 2.75" vs 3" for Kooks/LG. Just a thought.

Not sure how much that plays on a 346" motor, but interesting note.

Guys with the Stainless Works LTs with 2.5" collectors have shown impressive gains. There's a fairly recent thread about them floating around here.
