Supposedly Roger Grotyohann was merely a reseller for the QTP headers. They have a new y-pipe which is different than Roger the Dodger's.

Everything I've read regarding them on LS1Tech.com indicates that Roger no longer sells them due to all the bad press, and QTP is handling them direct now.

I spoke to Barry and basically everything you said is true. I placed my order today for the headers. Going now look look for an inexpensive cat back. I am going to leave what I have on right now do a dyno then when I get the catback do another dyno....or be smarter get slicks or drags and see what my times change to.

He never mentioned names, but basically over the 3 conversions I've had with him this is what I was told.

Oh he said the cat is out of the bag, so I can say it I guess. I ordered Stainless steal headers. Anyway...if yall know of an inexpensive cat-back ...let me know.

Its not that. Don't worry about it .

The Hooker catback is fairly inexpensive and sounds pretty decent from what I have heard. Or you could just save your money and get a cutout with an electric opening.

Basically, QTP's headers, Thunder Racing's headers, and a few other places are Grots. I heard something about Grotyohan never patenting them or something like that and then screwing a lot of people out of money and disappearing, so others took his design and are selling it now! Not sure if that's true, but that's what I remember hearing, someone correct me if i'm wrong please!
