people on the corvetteforum are buying ebay headers and having great luck with them and....
EDIT: Please don't compare these ebay headers to anything sponsor/price related.

First rule of LS1tech: We don't talk about corvetteforum...or ebay.

No pics, only a video that wasn't really intended to show off the looks.
BTW: I don't have a cam, I disconected a vacuum hose for that. This vid was my setup the first time around. Cats hung way too low and they weren't gutted at the time.

how do you figure? flow is something you only need enough of. adding more flow when you don't need it will not net you more horsepower. that is what i'm trying to get at. if you don't understand it, educate yourself better. that y-pipe, even with the dent, will flow plenty enough for the majority of LS1tech members. they need to be more concerned with the dents slowing down the exhaust velocity than limiting the flow. it already flows plenty. again, adding more flow when you need it does nothing.
it's the same principle of headers vs. manifolds. you don't get big horsepower gains because of flow. headers don't flow that much more than manifolds. they just scavenge a hell of a lot more. that's why shorties don't perform like longtubes. shorties will flow about the same as longtubes, but why do longtubes make 15-20 more horsepower over shorties? scavenging and exhaust velocity.
just because you don't understand doesn't mean you should hate. people on this website tend to think a well performing exhaust is all about flow. it's not. flow is just a component of a good system. you only need as much as is required to support your horsepower level. any more won't help you unless you add more mods that create more horsepower.
