Agreed, this is the route that I took as I did not want to second guess my decision at a later time.

I believe you are 100% paying for the name when it comes to headers. There are multiple lower end brands that have great quality, fitment, and results. Dropping anywhere near, or in excess of 1000 dollars on headers is IMO a giant waste of money that could be put into other parts for the car.

Check out speed engineering and texas speed.

Those Speed Engineering headers look just like the TSP, are they from the same manufacturer ?

I don't know if they're from the same manufacturer but they're both a good product with tons of positive feedback.

I went with Stainless Power w/hi flow cats from Stainless Works for my'15 ZL1....they are due to arrive at my door on Thursday. Have had multiple folks give these high marks for fit/finish/performance while being a lower cost alternative to the higher priced major brands available. If money wasn't a concern, ARH or Kook's would have been in the running.

Two of my friends have the 1-7/8" TSp headers on their fifth gens and they have been happy with them so far. I did the install on both cars and everything went together just fine, fitment and quality was great. If it were my personal car and I had the extra money to throw at it I'd buy ARH. But for the money and if on a budget the TSP headers are hard to beat.
