Don't want to go the header headack route on my 01 ram air vert to get a little more HP so would installing 2004 corvette mailfolds add any punch and if so would they bolt right up to the cats??.

I think you'll have as many headaches with c5 manifolds as with headers. Get shorties for ultimate no headaches but not much power. Do longtubes with quality like PPC, TTS, FLP or others that include cats, y pipe, and have good ground clearance. You may have a few issues with SES lights but take your time and you'll figure them out and get them resolved - good power gains. Or leave the manifolds alone, get high flow cats, Y pipe and catback.

If you go with the GMMG Chambered System, Y-Pipe, makes good horsepower and some torque, and the price is right and not any trouble at all.
Have had this system now going on three years on my 2000SS Coupe, sounds as great today, as it did when we put the sysetm on...Can't go wrong on this combination..trust me:
