Only have had mine for a few days. They went in fairly easily, I just shaved a little off that tab on the block on the drivers side to get the header in, I didnt even have to get the car up all that high. They sould pretty good also.

I've had them on my car for over a year now.

Love them! I wouldn't change them for nothing - for the money at least

Thumbs up Pacesetter & ORY

I bought the the coated Race LT's & matching y-pipe
I have had them on for 2 weeks or so now, love them.
install was so easy.
i used stainless steel band clamps to hold them together.
reused my GM gaskets.

Mine were great for the first year and a couple months, then my EGR tube broke off at the weld while idling in my driveway......(should have gotten the race version) other than that they are good.

Well I have had my headers for a little over 7 months now and they are still in great shape! I have the uncoated race style and they still have no rust on them!
I have driven them in the rain a few times but they still have not and will not see snow. I have never hit the collector or my TSP ORY on anything.

I have had mine for a little over 9 months now and I love them, they give the car a great sound and woke it up a bit to, not to mention the price is great.

I have the race version and they have been on for several months now. They fit great and no problems other than for some reason the O2 sensor on the passenger side is too close to the tranny. I will have to loosen the header from the head to remove/install the sensor without damaging the wires. I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue though.

ive had mine for less than a year and they are already very rusty. i was hoping to get a few years out of these headers but they rusted alot faster than i thought. the install went easy no leaks or anything like that but i dont think ill get another year out of them. if i coudl do it again id save a lil extra for stainless
