Ok so I've been shoping for some long tubes for my 98 SS for a while and was set on a set of QTP 1 3/4 race style long tubes and ory until i came upon the edelbrocks. Im considering these since they look like a quality peice, cost about half as much for the lt and ory compared to the qtp's, are stepped which from what i have seen make more power on pretty much every setup. Now my questions are what do people think of these headers that have them like how are they holding up, is the ti tech coating any good, how is the fitment, and finally are you happy with these headers. Im seriously considering these unless i hear differently from people here since they should make more power, cost about half as much, and should last like the qtp's since this car will never see winter or any salt. Also for people that have these which part number did you purchase and what is the difference. I see two different part numbers which are the 65653 and the 65703. From what i can tell the 65653's the collectors and o2 bungs are already welded in and the 65703's are not? Thanks for everyone's help.

 

The stepped design is great for torque and high rpm horsepower. Looks like one comes with an attached merge collector and one doesn't.

Just remember that the collector is 3.5", not 3".
