which exhaust to get, OBX or TSP?
Hello, Im trying to decide betweend the two brands to buy full exhaust for my ws6. for the OBX LT headers, y pipe, and catback it would be $870 all stainless steel shipped. For TSP LT headers, y pipe, and rumbler catback it would run about$890 shiped and not all stainless steel, for LT headers and rumbler true duals it would run for about 1k not all stainless steel. What do you guys would suggest to go for?

I just recently put TSP headers in with new poly mm's. The headers tuck up nice and tight to the floor of the car. I have roughly 1/2" clearance between header and floor.

Damn how do you even manage to drop the car over 2 inches?! You might have trouble with ANY long tube header with that extreme of a drop...
I have never actually seen either exhaust, but I have heard a lot more of TSP than I have OBX.... I'd go with TSP if I had to pick though for myself.

We designed our headers for power output not budget. A lot of import headers are built as cheap as can be with no concern for power output. The TSP headers are built with velocity spikes & our proven header design so you know your getting a top dollar header at a budget friendly price.

Don't under estimate the OBX headers and exhaust systems. I own a '74 Vette and am on the Corvette forum as well. A couple of the C3 owners have used the OBX sidemount exhaust system, that come with headers, and really liked the quality and performance of the system. I live pretty close to the guy that sells the OBX parts, I am waiting on him to get the sidemount exhaust system back in stock, that's how many of these system he sells, so that I can go take a better look at them.

I went TSP headers and ory pipe with hooker catback. I couldn't justify the price of magnaflow on my budget. It would be nice to have all the system in ss, but that will have to wait until a later time.

Thanks for the advice, theres this guy that sells me his x pipe for $50 but my question is would it fit since it was on a cts-v? Not the stock one by the way.
