Dynatech SuperMaxx System A++++
Dynatech SuperMaxx System A++++ Just did the install last weekend. Everything went smooth as can be. Took me by myself about 4 hours or so and it's great. Everything in their kit is top notch and had eveything you really need to make it all a true bolt on kit. Will eventually switch out the Magnaflow for a true dual setup with X-pipe, but for now I am quite happy. Thanks to all the guys here with the helpful tips. Made life so incredibly easy when installing it.
Only issues are with the cross brace near the split of the Y-pipe is a little close and occasionally rattles on that. This weekend I will get under there and readjust the back section a little bit, but other than that there is tons of room and it doesn't hang down all that much, certainly not like i've seen here. I did take some photos and will get them on here as soon as I can. To answer your question Billumss, it is the whole deal, Long tubes, 3 pc. Y-pipe, bitchin, very tiny bullet style high flow cats. There is plenty of clearance evrywhere except where I mentioned and I think that was just a bad adjustment on my part. Will have it fixed on Monday if it doesn't rain. Also like I said will have pictures up either later today or tomorrow.

Modern,
Are these the ones...
I have a set of these sitting in my spare bedroom, I have to make time to install these;
The fit and finish is excellent, and the instructions are very good (seems you don't have too much trouble and no strange surprises).
What do you do when it's time for sm0g test...?
Hey, where is Cali Dragway...?
Regards,
Joe

I saved all of my stck stuff. With as easy as it was to put in I will just swap back to stock for smog every 2 years. Everything went great. No broken bolts or anything. Cali Dragway is in Fontana, CA. (California Speedway) Great track, just wish they ran it better. Has been very frustrating the last couple of times I've gone. Gotta go again now that the TB and headers are in. Hopefully I will see 12's. I will post the pics here next if i can figure out how.

Thanks for the pics.
Looks like you didn't have to raise the car too high off the ground for the install
(those are 3-ton jackstands, right...?)
In Fontana... thanks, I have an idea where that is.

When I place the headers together at primary-pipe flanges (head mounting surfaces), there's a 1/8" gap right in the middle
(i.e. they bow out in the middle, the ends are touching)...
Is this bow is okay...?
Thanks again.

If you hold one up you can look right thru it.

Joe, essentially I put the car up on ramps in the back and then used 3 ton floor jacks in front done in 2 steps. 3 ton jack as high as it would go, set on stands, then took a piece of a 6x6 and used that to raise it the rest of the way. It really was straight forward and easy overall. Much better than the shorties I had put in my old '96 WS6. I logged nearly 30 hours trying to put those damn things in. Was a nightmare!! Definitely something to say about the LS1 in these cars. So much easier to work on. As for the bow, that doesn't sound right. I never put my flanges up together so I can't tell you how mine were, but I can't imagine they are supposed to be that way considering the are mounting to a flat surface. The next street legal drags is April 22nd. Will definitely be there for those who want to see them in person. My email is shawnb_2@msn.com. Just shoot me an email and keep in touch with me until then so we can meet up at the track or if you're close to me we can meet before that.

This header system has the fittings for AIR, O2 (front and rear), EGR (for < 2001) and includes cats....
But CARB does not deem it legal because the position of the cats moves from the original and the cats have not been certified with CARB.
Even though these cats probably work better than the OEM ones.
