Default texas speed headers

I have Texas speed headers and rumble x true duals with bullets on the way. Any opinions about the sound and quality?

It's the equivalent to having a loudmouth and headers. It will be loud and raspy

Considering hes has the X-pipe and duals, rasp should not be an issue.


OP. Usually better to ask about parts and then buy, instead of buy and then ask.

Oh lmao. All I read was rumbler. I'm an idiot. The cat back would be raspy. But the dual exhaust is killer. Quality is good too

They seemed like a quality product and for the price couldn't beat it for 1 7/8 headers. That's why I ordered them lol. So you guys think ill b happy with them

I have them on my C5, They dropped right in and fit perfectly. I had to remove the steering linkage but that was it. Other headers require the motor to be jacked up or the starter removed. They sealed right up with GM gaskets and a year later even being a daily driver here in rain soaked FL they still look great.

Quality is great, you will compromise ground clearance, and sound will be amazing (both amazingly loud and amazing tone).

If its a DD car I'd deff install sound dampening material to help with rattles from the exhaust. Your gonna have them, trust me. They sound awesome, just too much for my dd.
