I too would like to see that, but yeah, it probably doesn't exist.

What I love seeing is the torque curve. Almost immediately, around 2150, that sucker jumps up and stays up, very nice.

I'm going to search for this type test using ARH, curious to see difference without tune.

Glad to see they came back, I've been running the PFADT LT Tri-Y on my ZL1 for about two years now. Absolutely love them!

So these headers don't provide more power than let's say kooks long tube headers? These look really nice too.

I have them. The fit and finish was superior to American Racing... And we have the pictures to prove it ... I got possibly the last two sets before they went out of business. I was REALLY happy with them. Eric agreed that the torque numbers were crazy. Great gain !! Glad they are back. Vette guys actually brought them to my attention.

At that time they made 2 more hp than the A.R. in whatever tests they were doing. The cost was within $100.00 for comparable pieces.

I have these as well. I got them just before they went under. I am also extremely happy with them and got about the same results as the dyno curve above. Also this things are works of art when I opened the box I was very impressed with how they looked.

How do these pfadt headers compare to dynatech SuperMax ceramic coated headers?

I have only ever had hands on experience with Dynatech headers on trucks so I don't know what kind of power they make on the ZL1, but I do know that they use OEM grade 400 series stainless rather than the 300 series you will find on Pfadt, ARH, Kooks, and Stainless Works. Dynatech is a downmarket line more comparable to JBA.

Glad you guys are happy with them.

Here's a sound clip of them on my ZL1.

Can we see pictures of the installed headers with cats?

Sounds great man! This is just the stock exhaust and the pfadt headers??

Splat1two · 08-29-2015, 07:56 AM

Question... If Pfadt went out of business, who's making these headers now?
