Default UPDATE: Anniversary gift from my AWESOME wife, w/ help from TSP & Ed Curtis!!

Quick background-

I work offshore for Chevron, and I'm currently on a 14 day hitch, coming home on Wednesday. Our Anniversary was Oct 31st, and she hears all the time about all the different **** I want.

Got an email tonight from her... "There's something I need to tell you"

"What the hell , I say to myself, so I pick up the phone and call her. You can guess my first thoughts; Somethings wrong at home, something with kids, etc. She tells me to check my email, and then hangs up on me before I can even say anything.

She sends me ONE picture. Here's the first:






What in the Kung fookin Foo!!

Then the rest of the pics trickle in....













She got me TSP 1 7/8" Stainless Headers, Stainless Y, and even knew to get the O2 extensions. This woman ROCKS!!!


Long story short, I still have this stupid ****-eating grin on my face, and for once, my wife has me speechless. Completely.

I want to personally thank Matt & Aaron at TSP for taking the time to talk to her, explain everything to her. She thought that with her being a woman you'd blow her off and not really take her seriously, but she said you guys were absolutely the nicest people she's ever talked to.

Your customer service is second to none. THANK YOU BOTH!!

Suzanne, if you read this (she has a profile too) I LOVE YOU!

The guys at TSP rock!! I've been a client of there's for about 5 yrs now, and just made my latest purchase of an Ls2 w/Ls6 heads for my '02 Silverado.. with Trevor's help.

Matt and Aaron are good guys. I'm glad all worked out for you.

Definitely a keeper! I am trying this with my girl and all I am getting back is the header thingy and the Y thing! lol She is catching on slowly though so hopefully in the near future she give TSP a call like your wife did.

Congrats on the new parts!

Yes TSP are certainly a special firm to deal with, the guys are extremely helpful even for us guys in other countries.

Thanks for the kinds words! I just want to say it was my pleasure to help her through the process of getting everything ordered and processed. I thought it was awesome that she was doing all this to surprise you! Feel free to give us a call if you need anything else or have any questions! Oh, and we got you hooked up with some new gm mls gaskets that will work great with the headers.

You're in New Zealand? Tell me what it's like having an LS1 on that Island. And speaking of Islands, have you been to Mauricius?

What a lot don't know about Trevor, is that he helps out 10-12 needed families over the holidays, with food and clothing contributions. Heck I sent him over 125lbs of clothes last year.
