vapor08GT500 swears by the Dynatechs. I think i'd give them a try if I were going to do headers.

Yea I saw that thread but I'd like to hear other opinions before I pull the trigger on a set of long tubes..
So far I know that both have great fitment and both can have the clutch serviced without dropping or loosening them..
Either way it's a win IMO. I am having ARH headers put on my car next week, but I haven't heard any negatives about any headers besides the ebay OBX? headers. Stainless Works, Kooks, Dynatech, ARH, Borla, Bassani, all quality headers IMO.
If you want to save some money do the Dynatechs or get the dynatechs and send them off to JetHot or Swaintech and get them coated and it'll cost the same as every other header setup. I can tell you the ARH headers and O/R X-pipe I got is quality quality parts, but I can't speak first hand about any other headers quality. Good luck with your decision though.

Are you gonna retune after the install or run the same tune?
I'm doing alot more than just headers so yeah it'll be tuned as well. I'd always recommend a retune after a header install, and I'm sure everyone else would too. That's why I saved up all my parts and am installing them all at once...saves money on all them retunes I'd have to do if I installed each part separately.
Long tubes would be the Dynatechs. Kooks are not long tube headers but 3/4. Has for transmission removal i'm not to sure that the kooks allow that withoutl loosing a side up.
+1 on the ARH !!
Lots of people say the Dynatechs make better power than Kooks, etc. Funny beacuse in the Corvette world it is just the oposite. Kooks, AR and LGM have shown more power than DT's. :shrug:
If you search for it, someone had a thread with back to dyno pulls with the dynatechs and they have made more power than anyone else's and for once there was proof not hear say from companys making claims.
OP if you are going to do them yourself, I can tell you first hand that they are great fitting. Everyone always bashed how hard they were to install(LT's in general) and I did not find that at all with dynatechs. I have had other cars that are way worse to install then these(without a lift).
Says the guy with no GT500
Love my new dynatechs!
Question is tho- Dynatech's on a 2011 but keeping all the rest the 2-3/4 factory parts.
The sound is awesome and adding headers would be x 2 but nobody has a solution except to gut the factory stuff and go with raspy 3" xpipe stuff. Not my cup of tea.

They do make an H-Pipe now...look into that.
What year is your car? Our 2011 headers aren't too far off.
Dynatechs look good but I hate that I keep seeing the only way for them to sound good is with the MAC Mufflers. I'll never run a Mac product on my cars.
ARH look solid, and the Tasca car running the 2.9L with 1 7/8" catted ARH and Corsa axle back sounds like sex.
