Default Dynatech Supermaxx stainless header system

This is a stainless long tube system with catted y-pipe and know one is discussing them when we talk headers. Anyone have them and how do you like them?

Ive looked into them. They look live a quality design. I almost bought them, but came across too good a deal on some QTP's. Ive seen posts in the past from people with dynatechs and they seem to have good things to say about them.

Like I said, I was really considering them. They seem like a good quality header for a decent price.

i think they are the best header system for these cars personally.Thats why i bought them.You get the best ground clearance and fitment,full stainless steel,including stainless y pipe and cats.The kit comes with everything to do the install including the zip ties to strap up wires.The only thing you will give up with these is like 5-10 hp from qtp and kooks due to the y-pipe being a little smaller.I am still pushing over 440 rwhp with the system and a smaller cam.228/230 571 573. You cant go wrong.

X2 I helped install a set on a LS1 formula and the quality was excelent. Everything fit great and I would not hesitate to buy dynatechs. And yes the Y is smaller than most - 2.5" i believe.

I agree with all the posts thus far, but add their only drawback: price.

X3. I love mine. Very complete kit and fit great like the others said. I got mine at New Era and the price compares pretty well against other stainless headers w/cat'd Y:

yeah if you want stainless its going to cost.you will spend the same with qtp and kooks after you buy the y pipe and all the hardware and crap to finish the install.You get what you pay for when it comes to headers.

I used to sell the Dynatechs back in the day... VERY nice quality header... If you can afford it, i wouldn't be afraid of them at all...

I have them and I like them. Great fit and everything you need is in the kit. The Y is 2.75 and the only problem I had was finding someone to weld the Y to the *** back only because its stainless.I would recommend them.

I've had these headers for a couple of years they are very nice. I plan on ditching the y and going to 3" once I get my h/c installed.

Dynatech did their homework before selling these. They fit better than any other system I've seen. Plenty of ground clearance and you can actually get to the oil pan drainplug. I've had mine 4 years and still no rust. Their 4 bolt ball type flanges seal up leakproof also.
