I gained 31hp and 21 torque with the Supramaxx system and tuning. No problem with the drain plug or installation. No banging from the Y-pipe and they tucked up close. It all went together in a day and it was the first time i ever installed headers by myself. This was on a 2000 Z28 M6.

All that money and you get that kind of fit.
And to think, an LT that costs 1/3 the price gives the same gains.
What was it that PT Barnum said?
Dynatech makes the FLP's.

I have to agree.. I would be pissed off after spending some nice cash on a set of LT's, only find myself not being able to change the oil.. due to the header obstructing the bolt. You shouldn't have to F**k around like that just to change your oil. Thats just But I guess good #'s make it okay

Where does everyone get "good numbers"?
The gains are no more than any other decent header.
Coated, uncoated, mild steel, stainless...
The only thing that really matters is primary diameter.

Yes it only needs to be moved like a Centimeter.
