anychance a non stainless version would be made for the garage queens or race only cars? Or even 2.5in version? A more afforable price tag may open up the doors to more sales ..

Im glad new products are being made or lt1 cars, but i wouldnt be surprised if nobody buys these for lt1. You gotta remember that 90% of people who buy lt1s, are those who cant afford an LS1. And if you cant afford an ls1, you most likely wont spend good cash on a full exhaust sytem.
I really hope you guy success with these though.

garage queen cars wont prolong the life of aluminized exhaust, if anything it would rust even sooner from condensation build up in the pipes... meaning it will rust from the inside out. Also my experience with coated steel headers is not very good. Rocks off of the front wheels kick up and chip the coating on the collectors causing rust. I had a set of coated hooker lt's that were installed on my ls with 5k mi and taken off at 14k mi, the collectors looked like cast iron manifolds they were so rusty. This car never sees rain and is stored in a climate controled garage. Spend the money and buy satainless, trust me its worth it!!!

Well stated. If you're going to go through the hassles of putting headers on a 4th gen, pony-up for the good parts.
