Yes, they have C6 headers, but not C5. From my understanding from speaking to PFADT, they will come out with th C7 Headers before they introduce the C5's. My research was done in June, so it could have changed, but when I talked to them bac then, they weren't even going to develop them this year.

I'll check with them either way.

Something strange happened this morning...

We wake up early to drive to Houston today (currently enroute) and the wife turns to me and says "I think you should keep the Camaro for work, and leave the Vette in the garage."

Mind = BLOWN

Hard to describe. I work in offshore deep water drilling now, so my schedule is 14 days on, 14 off. Wife wasn't keen on the Vette staying at the heliport like that.

My Camaro has a beat *** exterior and no interior other than 2 seats and a center console.

But it'll haul the mail!

Well this thread is on it's last leg. I'm surprised a mod hasn't shut it down yet... We're WAY OFF COURSE here,

Anyway, finally got her home today... No side by side shots yet, but they're coming.

And also a shot of my dream car...

Got an offer of 6k for my car. Probably gonna take it. I could make bit more parting out, but after all the labor and shipping, it's more than likely just going to be a wash.

NEVER build a sleeper / beater car!!!
