I don't think many have them, but I know a few do because I've looked into them as well. I've only ever seen GREAT comments about them, in terms of fit and finish and performance. And I've never seen a bad word about them.

If I was wanting to spend that kind of money on headers they would certainly be one I'd be looking at

SW LT's gave me the expected 30/30 gains on my LS1.

I have Stainless Works on my Hawk and I put down 335rwhp/343rwtq with that and a lid. Quality is excellent on them. FItment of the longtubes was great. The Y-Pipe that came with them was about an inch too long at the connection with the I-Pipe. Other than that, I am very happy with them. Would buy from them again if I had to.

Thumbs up

On my 01 ws6 i put down 330rwhp and 350rwtq with their headers and catted y-pipe(random techs) through a borla with open plate and a lid with no tuning. Fitment had some issues, had to cut the y-pipe in a couple spots to get it to fit. Almost seemed like it was an ORY not leaving room for the cats. The y-pipe also hits the floor, but only because i think the angle off the primaries into the collector is pointing up slightly. Some others have had this problems and some haven't. Other then that they are a quality piece good welds ect. and i'm happy with them. and FWIW I made those numbers with the 2 1/2" y-pipe

also forgot to mention that ground clearance is just as good as stock or better.
