I'm considering these but I wanted to get some input from those who have them or have had them?
Opinions/Comments?
Thanks!

They are great headers and for the price can
t be beat. I've installed 4 sets in the last 2 months on C5's and everyone has said they love them. Easy to install.

That's what i wanted to hear. Texas section were talking down on them.
I cant justify spending $1600+ on LG Pro's! I'm pretty sure I'm going with these. I dont need engine bling (LG Stainless steel), however I do need performance keeping in mind a tight budget, bang for the buck.
thanks guys

I just finished my install this week. They are a very nice package at a great value. I am very happy with the quality and ease of installation. They did exactly what I wanted them to do. If I had to do it again I would def. go with the TSP headers and X-Pipe again. Well worth the money!

I've read good things. Only negative was some people had to cut holes in the bottom for the o2's, but thats not really a huge deal.
I was in your shoes about 3 weeks ago, the only thing that led me away from the TSP LT's were I didn't want to deal with rust a few years down the road. But there a great price for sure!

I've had mine on now for about two months and I love them.. only complaint was how the o2 sensor bung is on the header points into the tunnel and i had to cut some of the tunnel out to make them fit. when i base lined dynod my car it made 309wrhp and 320wrtq now after the headers and a dyno tune it makes 344wrhp can't remember the tq but overall very happy well worth the money
don't know if the matter or not but my buddy just installed his and on his 03 z06 with blackwing intake, cf bride, gmcc wires, texas speed long tubes xpipe no cats and borla stinger exhaust and made 376 rwhp. On the same dyno on my 03 with custom intake and cf air bridge gmcc wires, ssac header xpipe no cats and stock ti exhaust i made 381 rwhp with stock exhaust. just food for thought

On my 97 bone stock it made 305,,317trq.......and after the header install it made 330,,,347trq.....I installed them myself and love them....Although I did scrape them up a little, kinda hard not to.......
So for the guys that have recently installed them - do the newer versions still require cutting for the O2 to fit? These are a great price considering it includes the X - In KS emissions aren't checked so I'm definitely going for an ORX whenever I do LT's!!
i just installed some a month and a half ago. LOVE them. Only trick to keep from scraping is pull the Starter to make it slide in easier and then pull the steering shaft(1 bolt and it slides over) and your life will be much easier
yes the new version still have to cut for the o2 sensors only part that sucks about the headers but for the power you get and price can't really beat it

I say spend the money for something that fits better. My driver's side header rattles on the bellhousing and has been touching it since install. It also scrapes into the steering arm, and I also cut the tunnel for the 02's. I sent TSP a few emails and PMs to different people even with no reply to my problem. I had heard of a few others with this problem as well. I dont know if they are causing knock but I was just disappointed with the whole situation. Thats just my 2 cents though oh and mine have been on for over a year maybe they are better now?
