damn, i didnt know that they made long headers for the z, I bought some strup headers, and UTR resonated test pipes. Sucks for me. Hey, Buy the xerd long tube headers and I will trade you for what i got.

the xerd's will build good top end hp, where as a shorty will build more low end tq. gains can be found on xerd's website, but i dont know of any back to back independent tests.

Oh and Randy never said Long Tube Headers. He said:
long(ish tubes)

I am thinking about strup headers now and got offered a good deal on a new set, how much would you guys pay for a set and are they worth it as far as ease of install and hp gains? Thanks!

The install is a PIA! It can be done by yourself but allow plenty of time. You will need a 14mm ratchet wrench and plenty of different length socket extensions. I wouldn't consider doing it without a lift. I guess you could do it on stands but a lift makes it a lot easier. An air ratchet would be helpful to remove the cats and exhaust. If I was to do it again I would remove the coolant line on the the passenger side. The extra time spent bleeding the coolant system would be worth it. There are a few nuts that are extremely difficult to remove/tighten with that coolant line in the way!
I would purchase them from www.partshippers.com
Dave helped me when I purchased my Strup headers. The customer service and price was excellent.

I have a friend who has a shop with a lift I can use with his help to install the headers. I am getting a deal from someone on this site for a brand new set but I am curious if it is worth the time and money. Thanks for the input

Obviously there is not difference in hp gain... but the ceramic ones do not last as long
Whats wrong with the ceramic ones? I have had them for a while now with no problems. It's not like you get more HP from the SS ones.
