Mike Hamm Engineering 714-903-9717
I got in on a group purchase and paid $575 shipped. The price was a big factor, but others on the board had good experience with the headers and they produce the same hp/tq gains as the AS&M long tubes. I did have to wait a LONG time to get them, but I am happy with my choice. The benefit of the long tubes shines on high horsepower applications like supercharging or a nice shot of gas.
I got the X pipe from Husker Performance. Great price, and fast shipping. I got the 2.5" with 3" center core. http://www.exhaustproslinc.com/xandypipes1.html
I still have my cats. The performance is great, but I think I have eliminated most all my backpressure, which is robbing a little down low. I am thinking of leaving the x pipe, but going to a dual inlet, single outlet muffler. Gonna run the pipe to the bumper, and do a turndown out of sight. Hopefully the 3rd time is a charm with the exhaust. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Good Luck <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I have heard, that they are having some trouble, but can't verify that. I have also heard that John Finnel (Featherfoot) is no longer with them. If your looking for something like Hamm's, look up Dean Lapoole (SSHotrodscom has them , I have his link on my links page) They are almost exactly like Hamms. "The Other Guys" also has mid length.

I don't make the rules. However, our sponsors in most cases can get whatever you want if they don't already carry them. Suggestions can be made, like I did. If a sponsor reads these threads, and sees people taling about a product they don't carry, maybe that will intice them to carry it. Below are the rules at the top of the page for the Sponsor and Classified sections. Other rules that apply are like I stated above.

From our sponsor section:
"This section is reserved exclusively for our Sponsoring Vendors. Members are encouraged to post requests for sales on specific items in order to provide a gauge of interest for our vendors. Non-sponsors please contact LS1Tech.com via email for Sponsorship details.

From our classified section:

"****" kit goes in in the morning. I just hope my T/M isn't the same as Sir Mix-a-lot. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Dont do it J! I tried extending my 2.5s all the way out and it hurt performance. The next thing I think I will try is replacing the 2.5 pipes between the x and mufflers with 2.25s, unless you want to try it first. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> BTW.. for those that dont know BigJ and I have nearly the exact exhaust setup from headers to dumps. And waiting a LONG time for the Hamms is and understatement but I am glad I waited for them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thanks for the heads up Kenny. That actually sounds like a cheaper, better idea going with 2.25 pipes. I don't think I will have any extra cash for a few weeks, so if you want to try it, let me know how it works out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> If not, I will let you know how it turns out in a few weeks.

So did you get the juice yet? If so, you suck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I ran a 13.6@100 at the track two weeks ago. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I got a deal a few weeks ago on a dry kit the I just couldn't passup. Only problem is I only have a 5lb bottle. I am tring to find someone around here to trade me a 10 pounder.
