Dynatech Headers?

Atomic Ed · 01-13-2017, 10:39 AM

I see Dynatech is a new player for Gen6 headers. From what I can tell, they are designed to bolt directly up to the stock exhaust without cutting. Two types of cats and one catless. 1 7/8" and 2" runners are available.

I've never heard of them before. Can someone verify my research on these? Anybody know anything about these headers? Quality?

I have a set of 2" headers from them but tbh my car is still down getting modded so no info on fitment.

This is correct, We have them in stock for anyone looking.

While we have not had or installed a set of those on 6th gen we have used their products before.
The quality and materials are generally very nice.
They are part of the AFCO performance group.
Keep us in the loop if you want to tray a set out.

Had them on my C6 LS3. Made 480rwhp on my "cam only" engine. They were 1 7/8". Fitment was good and power was undeniable. Had a set of 2" Kooks that I never got a chance to put on so nothing for me to compare them to...

Thanks for your input everyone. Seems like the best alternative for folks wanting to keep the rest of their exhaust system and not cutting it up.

From my Kooks review I noted that a header could be made that bolts up to the factory 2nd cats... so great work. I do know that this will give up some of the tube length and make the header even more unequal length (not that it matters, which it does not)....

I almost got those headers as they were the cheapest route but I didn't want to be the first to try them.

oldman · 01-14-2017, 01:12 PM

I was going JBA cause they were cheap but 90 days out on shipping.... so I did a calibrated eyeball and got the header that I could afford that had the most equal length (not that it matters) I look at the back pipe which is always the shortest and see how it is routed. Now I like the long tube afe tri-y as to my mind it is the best setup, but ahem it is pricey.. but oh so nice... wana cry nice..

So with my Kooks, I've been looking at cutting and re-using the factory 2nd cats and moving the rear 02 bung behind them. I intend to run cats as soon as all other mods are finished.... Don't need to kill trees for say 3 theoretical HP... Dynatech would have solved that issue (not the move rear 02).

The Dynatechs have peeked my interest, and are a close second option, but I'm still leaning towards shorties with the front cat delete/O2 sensor move. I will be almost exclusively a DD, so a few hp difference is no big deal. And as both of us have observed, the front cat delete seems to be the biggest hp gain for component change out.

If you are looking to go with front cat delete I would just go with the CA pipes. The effort (ie. hassle) to install the shorties just isn't worth it over the stock manifolds.

I assure you, you will be impressed with the quality fit and finish of Dynatech Products I run them on one of my personal cars.

Thanks for the input gentlemen. I am still curious on the shorties vs. LTs on our cars. Clearly LTs will out perform the shorties, but by how much? The only data I have seen is roughly 8 rwhp on just a shorty swap out vs. 15-20 rwhp on LTs. The shorties have a small advantage in the ability to swap the front cats and the CA pipe in and out quickly.

Still, the Dynatechs do appeal to me, particularly with me having an E-force bolted on and retaining the second cats.

No hurry in deciding.

Shorties will never do better than the factory Tri Y Manifolds..

In order to see any gains you must change out to Long tube headers and high flow cats or off road pipes.
