Default qtp header install....

was incredibly easy. car was already on jackstands and old headers were already off but it took less than an hr. only thing i had to do between removing the pacesetters and installing these is jack the front end up 2-3 more inches (qtp's are longer) and take off the oil filter. they had all the same issues everyone complains about as far as quality control but fit just fine. (no badges, weld in primary, so-so polish job, the 4th primary in the collector isnt fully welded)

Glad to hear the install was easy. Sorry to hear you didn't get badges and got a weld in the primary

I got mine installed a lil over a week ago. I started the install but didn't have time or patience to finish so i took it to a shop and they had them and a TSP dual exhaust installed in about 4 hours. The only issues with fitment is that the passenger side header sits on the k member a lil. They also told me they had to modify the drivers side to get it to fit but not really sure what the problem was or how they fixed it.

I've never heard of QTP having quality issues, when did this happen? i got my QTP headers back before they offered the polish/HVMC and they are great. by badges do you mean the QTP logo welded on the driver side header?

other then that, sounds like you had an easy, stress free install. the way i like them! so what kinda exhaust setup are you going to be running?

the qtp issues have been more recent. and honestly unless they leak at the collector ill get over the no name badge/ shitty looking weld in the primary and the half stick of rouge still on them from the polish. but yes it was really easy. i had planned on just trying to stick them up there and see what i was going to have to do tomorrow to get them in but they slid right in so i bolted em up. making a custom stainless y w/ a slp lm2 bullet and then out the corsa catback. they def hang lower than my pacesetters did though.

LS2 bait is local to us and purchased these headers from us.
They look real nice on his car and help make a ton of power.
Almost 460 WRHP last night on the dyno.
These headers defentially work.
Give us a call if your looking for a set and we will get you a great deal.
We have them on special right now in the sponsor's for sale section.

I will say +1 on the ARH's as well. QTP is a hella good quality header system for the price though. It is a similar debate as the old Camaro vs Trans Am debate.
