x2 man, mine look and perform awesome and have never hit or rubbed anything. While I don't doubt some haven't had issues, I think most people just repost what others have heard about them from other's who've never tried them either, seems to happen a lot. With that said though the TSP's look like a really nice header, I wouldn't hesitate on those, my y-pipe and catback are TSP and they're awesome!

I bought some ebay headers I will never buy from them the headers look nice and chrome and shiny when I put them it did not fit I had to cram them in there and the headers hit the frame so the whole cat had the vibration I will never buy again they were cheap but again like versz said u get wht u paid for so today I order some stainless hooker headers more money but the quality especially the fit is beter I would not buy them but its a risk some people here say they have not had problems with ebat headers but I did have problems so I guess its a chance u hve to take up to u

i installed a set of hooker super comps on my car a few weeks ago. they are a $700+ set of headers. they did not fit better than the pacesetters i had on a dif car 5 years ago. actually, i used my foot to push the driver's side in and one of the primaries rested on the kmember. i clearanced the k with a grinder. pass side was gravy. granted these are a 1 7/8 primary header, i think it's tough to judge how a header will fit. i've done a few header installs, all different brands on different cars. the only ones i didn't have trouble with were the pacesetters. the kooks, qtp, and hookers all had some sort of issue. not saying pacesetters are better, just saying that every car is dif and the headers aren't going to be perfect.

Hooker and Pacesetter have about the same quality control as the Ebay exhaust companies, your just paying more for the brand. Its all junk these days. If you want 100percent fit and finish your going to pay, that means ARH, Stainless works, Kooks, etc.
To date I have owned 4 sets of headers between all my cars, Hooker, Ebay, Pacesetter, and now Texas Speeds 1 7/8s. I have installed ARHs twice. The ARHs hands down were the best fitting, and it showed but they are $$$, Kooks and SWs installs are similar. The best bang for the buck and and no company can compare to the value ATM is Texas Speeds 1 7/8s. You get stainless steel big tube headers at a bargain!!. Granted they are formed overseas but Texas Speed has a good quality control program and if you have one that is an issue they will swap it out. The install can be different because some people have to pull the steering linkage, or the driver mount, others say they slip right in. Like posted above^^^, every car is alittle different because of driving habits, accident history, wear and tear.
