Took it out after install and put it through the paces and it runs fine (& loud) and no cell's. I may get it tuned again just to tweak it a bit but it runs strong with the current tune (Dyno tuned) that was done for all the mods I had previously.

Got it.

Thx for the reply!

That being said I have concerns when I see a company who sells a product that is american made and offers another product that looks exactly the same and supposed to be made with the same material [this being stainless steel] for a deep discounted price. Your first thought is "that probably won't be worth a damn that is why it is so cheap" is what I think anyway. But how do you know when you step up and buy the "american made product" you are not getting the other one? I am all for a company making a buck but I have always bought the cheaper product in fear that if I buy the higher priced one I am getting the cheaper one anyway so I am not giving them any extra money. I am not saying anyone is doing that with selling these headers so please don't scold me. I simply am saying that I would not be afraid to buy the cheaper ones for my car.After all, the companies selling these are in america so you are not totally buying from a oversea company.

Stainless Works has a lifetime warranty on their more expensive American made products. On their overseas built product line named Stainless Power, they are built from the same material and SW design, but only carry a 2 year warranty. They mark the Stainless Works headers w/a large SW plate, and their Stainless Power with a SP plate (see my pic on post #66 above). If you have a receipt for SW headers they will carry a lifetime warranty for replacement if anything happens to them - I think that also has something to do with the higher price, too.

I have stainless power headers and hiflow cats on my SS. Installed them myself. Few thousand miles later so far so good.

Bigtime53 · 12-13-2015, 10:25 PM

Which size tubes are best and why? 1-7/8 or 2" Maybe if you do not plan on cam and heads the smaller tube better or if you do heads and cam you need the 2"?

Well, it took a day but I do have a CEL lit so I will now be getting my tune tweaked a bit to adjust for the add on of the headers & hi flow cats.

KaBoom1701 · 12-23-2015, 10:09 AM

I think this happens to everyone who puts headers and HF cats on. lol

Just installed mine. Easy installation but I'm concerned on how close one tube is to the boot of the steering shaft.

Are these headers 2" primaries or 1 7/8"? Mine are 1 7/8" and they are no where near that close for me, mine fit perfectly.

Fast92RS · 03-04-2016, 04:33 AM

They are the 1 7/8" ones

Mine is a '14, but that shouldn't matter. There is about an inch and a half of clearance there for me.

jayno20 · 03-04-2016, 12:02 PM

I'll try to get a picture tonight if I can remember.... That is definitely close though, I can see the heat of the headers melting that rubber boot.

Stephen12ZL1 · 03-04-2016, 02:51 PM

the '14 ZL1 I installed headers on had way more clearance there than my '12 or '13. Both 1 7/8" and Stainless Power. The cars should be identical in that area but the '14 had way more clearance everywhere.

Stephen12ZL1 · 03-04-2016, 02:52 PM

just cut off the rubber boot...it is not a huge issue. Get a sharp razor and just slice it.
