Default any experience with these??

I was looking at a set of long tube headers by dynatech... What i noticed was teh stainless steal... Anybody ever used these?? like how did they fit in regards to plugs and other misc items under the hood did you have any problems with them rusting or anything of the sort??

Also please tell me about your experiences with LT's...

I do not want to spend a ton but also do not want some that are gonna rust and look bad under the hood....

Well I was helping my buddy research LTs for his LS1. He was told by a header dealer. That Dynatechs where the best in clearances and they had seen the best gains from them if only by a little bit. They are awesome but they are EXPENSIVE.


He ended up going with Kooks and I have never heard him say anythign about scraping and hes lowered with hotchkis springs.
Also on a side note with the Kooks his SLP sub frame connectors hang lower.

I have pacesetters and dont scrape anything but the True duals that hang extremely low but my cars is stock height.

The LT1 dynatechs also don't include collectors -- so you'll have to factor that into the cost.

Pacesetters are the cheapest route, they install pretty easily and they have decent clearance for plugs and wires -- but you get what you pay for. Not saying that they are bad, but they aren't anything to really call home about either.
