OK, the first thread was getting a bit out of hand. I can't even remember the original topic!

Here is some info on the dynatech headers:

LS1 Headers

They also make LT1 Headers http://www.secureperformanceorder.com/dynatechdragstore/getclasses.cfm?CategoryID=22

Dynatech is the company that make the headers for FLP, so they are very high quality. A friend of mine recently purchased a complete set-up from them and it cost him about $650 for the entire set up including gaskets, shipping, etc.

I actually like the quality of them better than my Grots, so I may still be ordering a set.

You can save about $60 if you buy Schoenfeld collectors and not the dynatech ones.

Keep in mind that they DO NOT come with a y-pipe, but you can get one from Mufflex for about $200.00

So, for around $800.00 you would have a VERY nice set of LT headers.

Why did you decide against the Macs???

I still like Macs as inexpensive alternative...it all depends on your budget! Especially when they cost the same as a set of shorties and offer MUCH better gains. Macs would be the perfect choice for someone just doing bolt-on mods. For a car without head work or a big cam, you probably would not notice the difference between Macs and long tubes.

If you are going to go with heads / cam you would probably be better off going with the dynotech headers. They are a few hundred dollars more, but as your mods / HP increase, so do the gains from the long tubes.

I went with the Grots because I got a GREAT deal on a used set. I would rather have dynatechs, but for the price, I couldn't say no.

Man, last time I asked about that, you said that even with engine mods, the difference would be very minimal....

I just ordered a set thanks Jamey.

Talking about probably 15 RWHP with a cam. As you get more wild with the mods, the difference is going to increase.

Macs = $500
LTs = $1200 (Dynatech excluded)

is 15 HP worth $700? I think I could find $15 HP MUCH cheaper than 700 bux.

As you add more mods though, the gain from the LTs will increase. The gain from LTs with Heads + Cam would probably be worth the $300 difference for Dynatechs.

FWIW, Hooker is coming out with a new LT header for the LS1. They were supposed to be out already, but they are not. They will be similiar to the Dynatech but will not have a slip fit collector. They obviously will not have the same quality and finish as the Dynatech either, but may be another low cost alternative. They also will not come with a Y pipe, but I believe that Mufflex has that covered as well.

I knew I should have waited.

There are always new things coming out...you'll spend your whole life waiting

The MACs are a very good choice and you will not be disappointed in their performance. If and when you decide to upgrade to true LTs you will not have a problem getting most of your money back. They sell like hotcakes...in fact Mac is usually back ordered on them.

Are they worth it for the LT1's? I was thinking I could get a set of hooker lt's jet-hot coated and the y-pipe for around the same $$$. Maybe even cheaper if a vendor offers a GP on cz28.

Yes Dave, they are totally worth it!!

I have not really been in the LT1 scene lately, so I'm a bad person to ask...Rob could probably shed some light. Especially since he has FLP headers made by Dynatech

complete set of ceramic coated FLP's with offroad(s) and random tech cat(s) O2 extensions and gaskets. $1200

Wow...that was quick!!!

Ask and ye shall receive!!!

I already have the 2.5 why pipe so I plan to weld a conector in and I should be set. w/o cats?

yup, you should be all set...you may have to have the y-pipe modified (shortened or lengthened) but nothing major. Probably a cut or 2 and about $20.00 worth of work.

Got O2 sims? If not, look on e-bay. You can usually get a set for 50 - 70 bux

I am getting a new computer no smog, egr,or air. And I like to weld so that should be easy.

There you go, you'll be in!!!
