Wondering if they are worth the couple of bucks they go for. I have hedmans on mine now and absolutely hate the rust. These are cheap and stainless and easily modified for a proper Y pipe connection (I would cut the end off the collector and weld on a v band clamp and work from there w/ true duals most likely, would cut off the air tubes too and weld it up). Just wondering if they're not complete junk. Also, why would they be for 5.0 only? Don't know the primary or collector size on these (very handy that they don't list that)

Re: anyone using these chinese SS headers?
do you run twin turbos? those remind me of the ss autochrome headers, i have heard some bad s** about them.
those will most likely, just fit like crap. and dont ecpext to hang any weight on them.

Yea, I like the Corvette Project, but I'm truly jealous of your place, especially the garages!!
