Default Dynatech Dynomaxx headers/system worth the money?

i was considering these, now that i just bought two mufflers off another member here. are they worth the $1500, or would i be better off going with Pacesetters or something similar?

Is a Caddy is better than a Camry?
Can you do it for less, yes.

Pacesetters are a third of the cost, alot of people run them including myself and most have nothing but positive things to say. Choice is yours really, they are both good products but I believe for 1500 dynatech's come with cats and thats important to some.

Lt's are a big no go in CA but if you want to play with the big boys you have to do what you have to do. The Dynatechs are the top of the line Cadillac of systems...I want some damn it!

well idont have to smog my truck for over 3 years, i figure if i get a system that can be taken off relatively easily, it would be worth it. i know they are crackin down pretty hard, so i want to keep my cats for visual roadside inspections.

They have cats, so I can breathe if I'm standing behind my truck. Dynatech includes every little possible thing you would need - new factory style gaskets, new header bolts, O2 extension cables where needed, and ridiculously detailed instructions.

Oh, and the best part: They Just Fit. The hammer got to stay in the toolbox for this install.

I got mine ceramic coated as well (did I mention they're beautiful?). The total - coating, shipping, everything, was about $1500 from TByrne. Unfortunately Tom's MIA at the moment, but perhaps another sponsor could match.

so many things i want so badly. i dont think i need something this badass yet. i think im gonna install the mufflers i just bought, and get my cam, manifold. throttle body and tune all sorted out first. i was just curious if anyone had them and if they were worth it, sounds like they are. thanks for the input.

Sounds like a reasonable decision. Nobody that has ever bought the Dynatechs has ever complained about them that I can recall.
Get the mufflers and cam in there. Where in CA are you? Are you going to join us on the 22nd. in Sacramento?
