Stainless Works LT Headers installed... I just had Stainless Works LT Headers w/CATs installed on my 1997 Camaro SS. The performance shop (DTP Racing) put the car on the dyno and it produced 300.5 RWHP and 325 LB-FT Torque! Not bad at all! I don't have any numbers prior to the header install, however, the car was just your standard Camaro SS with the ram-air intake (stock air filter) and SLP 2OTL exhaust.
The model number for the Stainless Works LT headers is CA9697CAT. I'll be picking up the car tomorrow, so I can't answer any questions yet (how it sounds, difference of power, etc.)
Even though they are pricey, I believe it was well worth the cost to get them.

Will do...
If I can't upload here due to a low post count, I'll upload them elsewhere and post a link. Btw, the performance shop said they look great and were impressed with numbers produced.

Stainless Works LT Header Pics and Dyno Sheet I picked up the car today and I can honestly say that it is much quieter at lower RPM levels. I didn't go beyond 4000 RPM, but I wanted to note that as you accelerate, the car definitely has a different, more aggressive sound to it. You can really feel the difference in power at higher RPM levels. Again, I'm very happy with the decision with getting the headers. I took some pictures...Enjoy

When I picked up the car, the shop owner told me that he actually took out a couple of degrees of timing to achieve the 300 RWHP mark. He finally achieve that mark after run 6.
I wish I had a baseline number prior to the addition of the headers, but I didn't want to pay $85.00 to find out. Most stock 1996/1997 Camaro SS M6 cars produced on average probably 260-265 RWHP.
Personally, I'm happy with the results considering the only performance add-on to the stock SS were the long tube headers.
I also wanted to note that the car also has a noticeable "rushing air" sound when you accelerate. From what I understand, this is normal with the addition of the LT headers and not attributed to any leak(s).
For anyone considering doing a header install, here's a list of the other parts I used for the install:
NGK #7164 Iridium Spark Plugs TR55IX
Stage 8 8911A 1" Locking Header Bolt Kit
Percy's Seal-4-Good Header Gaskets 66031
