They function like any other set of long tube headers I suppose. They don't have any mechanical function so it's just a bunch of pipes welded together.

Of note is the fact that Chinese steel of the same grade as US steel will be significantly worse quality IMO. I can understand people trying to save money, but buying Chinese stuff just gives our money to a country that actively subverts our security and financial stability. So, I won’t stand on my soapbox since that isn’t what this forum is for, but I hope you’ll consider staying American made if you can.

I don’t have control over what parts GM contracts for overseas. I do have control over what headers and other parts I buy. No high horse here, I just want to support American made, and American jobs.

Got a 1/7/8 they fit perfectly, no leaks, sound good, made power, smacked the ground with them and didnt break. About 1 yr on them now. Pm me if you want in pics of it installed. I did the mid pipes too.

I wonder if it’s possible to make some 180 degree headers for an lt1, It would sound awesome !

Texas speed has some nice headers too. I installed a few that are still running good years later.

I got speed engineerings 1 7/8" long tube catless and x pipe kit. Everything fit like a glove, 0 issues what so ever. I was skeptical of the quality with price but I havent found a single reason to complain about them. Other than I wish they supplied the o2 extensions in the kit. The shop that installed them were also highly surprised about the quality at that price point. I have talked to many people on here that have used them and also have heard them say good things!

I’m really interested in them but I need high flo cats where I live and I can’t find a solution to this. Can someone chime in?

To bring this thread back to topic (at least subjectwise) what gains should one expect with a set of headers and the appropriate tune?

Tuned vs headers retuned increase just shy of 20 rwhp.
That’s really across the spectrum, average hp is up about that amount. so a solid two mph at the strip minimum |
