Just got a look at my set today before they go on the car. They look really sweet. Same craftsman ship as I've seen in the FLP's. The welds were very clean, and the coating looks awesome. I'm anxious to see what they do for me on the stroker. Will keep ya posted!

are the stepped headers overkill for stock cubes? Would it hurt more than help?

I have no guess on what the longtubes are gonna be worth... My MACS aren't your avergae MAC header...they have been aggressively modified.

I'm gonna try my best to make it. Its gonna be real tight though. A whole bunch of things are gonna have to fall into place for it to happen.

do they come with a ypipe.
or separate..
any gain in changing from a flp lt..to them

RyanJ

the std. 1 3/4" longtubes are around 500 fulley coated with collectors/o2 bungs. there are no provisions for egr or air. that it the difference (along with the cats/v-flanges) between FLP's and dynatechs...same company. the stepped version isnt going to be out in full force until next month. they are 1 3/4-1 7/8" collectors are your choice still, but 3 1/2" will probably be the norm. they will likely be closer to 600-700 for these. neither have a y-pipe, or collectors for that manor...the distributors are adding them i believe.


Larry, if it all works out, I'd love to see the 422 out there. especially with some 16 x 3 1/2" extensions on 3 1/2" collectors. <img src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" border="0" alt="[devil]" />

500 bucks? With the collectors, coated?

You need a custom bent ypipe if i'm not mistaken.

RyanJ

yes i said 500 bucks. But is closer to 600, sorry. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> absolutely NO y-pipe. damn, i mispelled fully.

Keep us posted on the new dyno # and how you do @ RCR - possibly the 1st 4l60E into the 9's? <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Good luck, Larry!!! <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

I dont know about running 9's the frist time out. Im guessing he will be in the 10.3~10.2 range his first time out. 9's would kick *** though. LS1's are getting insanely fast now <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

That may be true, but Larry (PaiN) has a MTI 422!! <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

I agree with Colonel. I was even discussing this with PSJ just the other day. Dropping the 422 is a big change. There have been ALOT of other changes as well, so not only engine, but also suspension tuning is going to be an issue. To be honest I would really be suprised at a 10.5 on the maiden track runs. We all know the car has the potential to run really well. But you have to be realistic.

I was actually hesitant to even post the dyno clip, and numbers. Because I'm leary of a backlash of naysayers if the car doesn't run a 10.0 out of the box.

I went through the same thing with my heads/cam setup. It had great potential all along, it just took a little tweaking to get it into the low low 11's. If I hadn't done the stroker you would have definately seen a 10.xx pass out of the heads/cam this year.

Anyways... Thanks for all the compliments..I also want to thank Colonel who has been an INVALUEABLE (sp?) source of information!

Is anyone stocking these stepped headers yet? I inquired earlier this week to a sponsor on the board and they told me they stepped headers won't be shipping until next year. I sold my Grots and am ready to buy a set now <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Thanks

I just had these headers installed on my 30th TA with a custom 3.5" Y-Pipe. It feels great and sounds totally bad ***!!! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> You're going to love them!!!!

What hp and tq numbers are to be expected with these headers? They look killer! <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Colonel

I think ~10.3-5s would be more realistic. It depends so much on weight, weather, and track but 9s is asking too much for a first time out.

The Derek H

Anybody? If someone has them in stock I want to purchase now but if not I'm going to jump on this GP thats going on. I need the stepped headers <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
