Default pacesetters installed

All I can say is for 360 bucks coated these are excellent headers. The quality is Very good; the flanges are crazy thick for a cheap set of headers. The Y pipe on the other hand is not what the headers are. I had to grind a ton of material where the two pipes merge due to the passenger side pipe being blocked off inside the y pipe. Aside from grinding the Y pipe it fits good, tucked really well. I have to say installing headers on a LS1 seems much easier than the LT1. I had the manifolds off and both headers on by my self in just a few hours. Car sure sounds diff now

Glad to hear everything went pretty smoothly! How high did you have the car off the ground? What Y pipe do you have?
