I have discovered after two years of ZR-1 ownership that owning a ZR-1 is the second best money reducing agent known to man. Second only to women.

Since I wasn't a participant in the auction for any of the stuff he had I left it at that.

Ken,

Since your the winning bidder the seller might have more interest in providing you with the information from the engine, if he still has and the transmission that he has still up for bidding. With the VIN you could "carfax" the information and maybe learn considerable. The car might actually be recorded in the "RIP's" here on the Registry!
My concern because the seller had "so few" LT5/ZR-1 parts available was maybe they were a set of "specialty headers" done for a project. It would be good if Marc ID'd them as his, you're all set!
I see in you sig you've got PE exhaust now. I'd be interested in resonance of the system on the car presently with factory manifolds/cats etc. I might try the PE's with the factory stuff first before doing the headers.
My PE system, GS calipers(4), 3.90 differential, Watson headers, QA1 coil-overs and KWR shifter mod kit are all in boxes expecting an install this Spring.

Well, Marc confirmed that the headers were his, and that he only built one set with air injection on them.

As far as resonance, I took it out for a drive Sunday specifically to address drone. About 2000 RPM, it has a bit of noticable drone or resonance. I typically cure this by either speeding up or turning the stereo up a bit more.

I plan on reusing the PE exhaust capsules, but rebuilding the exhaust system to a full 3" with x-pipe when I put the headers on. I don't know what the resonance would be with that. I figure it will be loud though.

Sounds like we will be close in mods, except for the 4.10's I have.

I still find it nothing short of amazing that a certain individual on the 'other' Forum insisted they were Watsons...

That said, it seems like a pretty fair price on the headers. I would be interested in knowing what kind of power increase you get. I spoke with Marc at length during a past Gathering about the 'shorty' headers. He was unsure if they were going to 'make the number' at the time. As others may have mentioned, I think he was looking for an option to use catalysts in the stock location(as it's becoming a requirement across many parts of the US).
