Default DT Headers Questions

I guess first off, are these still available as a group buy?

Secondly, of the people who have them, how has the finish held up? I know the old school BBK mustang headers rusted like crazy and looked terrible.

Website says $960.

Are they worth it? I have not installed my magnaflow or down pipe with cat yet. Not sure if I want to pull the trigger for these yet.

How much h.p. gain?

The thermal coating is holding up fine on mine. Definitely worth the money, and don't worry about a DP, just get someone to tie it into the factory exhaust and get rid of the cat.

Seriously? For someone with no mods and just a plan to go the bolt on route (no supercharged ls6 engine swap real wheel conversion dreams!) what would be your suggestion for mods in order?

I'd get the headers, get a 3" single or 3" into dual 2.5" exhaust made with some quality mufflers, get a tune and see how you like it .

When did you call and who did you talk to?
I'll call again on my way home from work. If they're going to be $960 I'll just wait and move on to other bolt ons. I just wanted to get them before they went back up and to get one of the more expensive ones off the list.
