For the money they are great! I love mine and they are tough.. however I bottom out on alot.. so they are pretty beat up on the bottom. The ory is a different story... I think I have one of the beginning ones possibly so I had some issues with fitment. Meaning I was under there for hours trying to piece it together so I gave up and took it to a muffler shop. No complaints on it.. I just couldn't figure it out. First trip through a parking ramp though and i smashed it up pretty good so I will probably be buying another one in the spring. Great products though especially for the price!

The TSP ORY I got fit so terribly that I sold it to my buddy who is having it cut/welded for a better fit. I had worse ground clearance than the true-dual guys. I switched it out for a Pacesetter ORY and the fit and finish of that is WAY better. The TSP has a fantastic merge but that's about it.

The headers are great! a great value. I had 1 3/4 slp long tubes before my 1 7/8 TSP's, the TSP's give me way more ground clearance than my old slp's. I would recommend the TSP headers to anyone. BUT the ory is a different story, it comes in like 4 or 5 different pieces and is a pain in the *** to get it together and on the headers correctly, i spend half a day putting the ory in, and im still not really happy with the fitment, ill probably go to the exhaust shop in the spring and get a custom y-pipe.

Thanks alot for all the input. I bought the ory pipe from another member on here and i damn sure hope i don;t have that much trouble putting it in! I think i may just go with the headers though!! Thanks again for the input! It's so nice to hear from people who have tried different combos and know how they work and fit before I go buy a bunch of crap!!!!

If you don't like the way the ORY you bought from the member on here fits, give Mufflex a call. I've used them twice before for LT1 y-pipes and I just got this for my Texas Speed header install. They're really nice guys to deal with. I called to have that extra bung welded in just before it shipped and they pulled it and welded it in free of charge.

Thanks Doobie52 that looks like a pretty good ory. Im gonna try this TSP ory with high flow merger first and see just how pissed off it makes me before I go another route LOL!!!! How long are these headers gonna stay looking like they do out of the box? It's not a DD and I only put about 5K a year on the car if that

^^You ran it above the stock tunnel brace!! LOL! Most people ditch that thing immediately, and some still gripe about their ORY fitment....You're a hero amongst men, lol! Way to go!

But heres the story...I had to bring the car to a shop because I snaped a header bolt and I couldnt get in there with my right angle drill to drill it out. Shop had to take the engine out (instead of pulling heads). So they had to do my work all over but they couldnt get the y pipe the way I had it. So NOW the y pipe is actualy BELOW the tunnel brace. Its better below because it does help elliminate some noise.
Oh and btw...I installed that y like that with the borla in place the whole time. I muscled around with that thing probly for 2 hours,on the ground,in the dark,back in april. I would have to say when people have fitment issues its because of lack of experience wrestling with this ****. I personaly like the y pipe and its great for the money. Very nice TSP

Hey Matt @ Texas Speed!!!! Is this ORY really that damn bad to install or are just a handful of people having problems with it? It doesn't look bad but I know looks can be deceiving!!!! Tell us what the problem is with the fitment and installation Please!!!

Theres nothing wrong with these y pipes. The problem is some guys lack experience and they think everything should be easy. See my install? Like I said...I did it with the catback all in place the whole time. Install would have been a TOTAL breeze if I moved the catback. My opinion is...get the y pipe,but when you install it dont do it with the catback in place. Simple

Glad I could help. But you did see that I said I have it under the tunnel brace now correct? Its actualy half under the brace. It eliminated extra rattles+noise.
Oh and btw my catback is a borla also but its the non-adjustable. It sounds great imo and like it better than the magnaflow on my 98 car.
