they are good headers. but there are more cheaper headers like the pacesetters. i think thats why nobody has mentioned jet hots in awhile.

Seems like a good set-up that will run cooler than the average long tube set-up. Anyone have any experience with these? Thanks

I had jet hots on my LT1... no complaints EXCEPT that the EGR tube was so off that I had to get another header, delayed me a week or so. Other than that, customer service was top notch (paid for the crap one to be shipped to them, shipped me another damn fast for FREE). It's tough to beat the pacesetter deal tho, it's what I have on my LS1 now, and I couldn't have been happier with the install, so damn easy. You can't lose is the way I look at it.

I'm in the process of installing mine right now. Just taking a break. They look great. Being as they are not stainless like kooks or QTP, if I were to do it again, I would have saved up for stainless or just bought some pacesetters.

The passenger side slid up no problems. The drivers side on the other hand was a little frustrating. I ended up grinding about a 1/4" off the little tab on the block then it went right in.

I've also heard mixed opinions about the ory/catted y from jet hot though. I just figured I'd deal with it and bought the package from lmperformance. But I'm having a little trouble fitting it all together. It seems like a little more adjustment and it'll go together, but I've had to slide my whole catback(LMII) forward almost 2 inches in all to get it to fit and I still have more to go. Just kinda strange. But I'm also doing it while on jackstands. I'm sure it would be a thousand times easier on a lift. Just my $.02

Sucks, I guess maybe I didn't have mine long enough When I do heads down the road I'll probably spring for some stepped kooks anyhow.
