Looking for feedback on the Dynatech SupperMaxx Header setup
Looking for feedback on the Dynatech SupperMaxx Header setup I don't see too many people running the Dynatech SupperMaxx Header setup. Why is that? They seem to be good quality and very good materials. Where do they fall short, or do they?

I've got the SuperMaxx headers on my '02 Z28. Let me qualify my remarks by saying that these are the only headers I have any experience with on an LS1. The SuperMaxx headers are very well built and fit like a glove. The install was painless, no cutting, grinding, or removing anything (except the oil filter). The driver side header does fit close to the drainplug, but does not interfer at all. When changing the oil, the stream of oil hits the header slightly. I'm very happy with them.

Anyone else have a set or know someone that does with some info?
Thanks.

I've got a set. They are a real good quality setup. The only issue I was having is I was having a bit of a tick tick tick after the install, but it was because I didn't have the cats tightened down enough. Now no problem at all.
They fit really tight to the body, I haven't had any ground clearance problems BUT my car isn't lowered either, so I can't comment on that part. I also don't have any banging problems either.
The install (like was said earlier) was a dream, did them in the drive way on jack stands and I didn't even have to remove the oil filter. I've had no issues with oil changes either, the stream does contact the bottom edge of the header a little bit but it's nothing a rag can't take care of.
Any other questions feel free to ask.

It came with all gaskets needed for installation. As to what type I don't know the type. I did block off the AIR but it wasn't necessary, I just wanted to clean up under the hood so I did it. I haven't had any trouble without it though. EGR is blocked as well.

There is a lot of confusion over this because the ad for these headers often shows it TWO different ways...they are actually showing a pic of coated FLPs in one of the photos and the actual stainless Supermaxxs in the other.

I'm getting QTPs.

That's one of the things I don't like about them, you HAVE TO get them with AIR and EGR fittings, no choice there.

Without a doubt the cats are interchangable. They are not welded on to either side. I know this because I've changed mine out once but they were WAY TOO LOUD with my GMMG, so I put the cats back on and now it is music to my ears.
Oh now I know what you meant by type of gasket, they are metal NOT paper.
It also makes since that they look like a pic of the FLP's because they are identical designs except the Supermaxx are Stainless and the FLP's are not. That's the only difference, to my knowledge.

well I've done lots of lookin' around and such and I'm going with the dynatech's complete with cated y pipe setup for my car. I've heard no complaints about them and like that they come with a really nice looking y pipe setup and its all Stainless but first I want to get HP tuner, then the headers.
