I liked the headers. Can't say the same about the Y. But at any rate my hatred for the Y got me a custom true dual =D the headers are coated and have a solid 17k miles on them. The old Y setup made 358.5 rwhp/ 369.7 rwtq. The header clearance is good id say, havent scraped anything yet. This is the new set up....


And tsp WHY didn't you come out with those sexy stainless headers when I ordered??

Don't know about the y, I have read they're going to try and keep the price around what the original was though. If they can, they pretty much just monopolized the stainless lt market haha

What pissed me off to begin with, and prompted an email to Matt, was I saw the headers for the 2010+ Camaro were stainless and 10 bucks cheaper than ours.....

Then I got the good news from him when he emailed me back. He said it should be right at the same price, just stainless.
I felt better after that exchange.... Felt kinda like cracking that first beer after a long days work....

TSP is about to pimp-slap the header market when they come out.

Well, considering the 2010+ is $469.99, and for whatever reason ours are $499.99 in REGULAR carbon steel, I would surely hope closer to the 2010 price.

$469.99 for stainless headers is just..... awesome.

For TSP, it'll be like being the Hungry Man of microwave dinners, the Sham-wow! of shammys.... I'm talking Bon Scott era AC/DC league.

Shipping will be extra, but price should be right in the neighborhood of what the previous headers sold for, but we will release final details on pricing when they are in stock ready to ship.

Or you could buy a winter car? I don't see a y-pipe rusting out in 2-3 years unless it's driven all winter and never washed.

Great price on the new TSP headers! I just bought a set a couple months ago, great power upgrade and look awesome under the hood. How much are the new ones going to cost with ceramic coating?

No love for ARH? We discount them pretty well to keep them competitive.
