Fat chance he will get any money back if the guy's bank account has 0 dollars in it. Which is usually what happens when you get screwed by another person..
they will just make a new paypal account new bank account and start all over again..

Finally put them on today ! sorry my digital camera took a 
so i cant post any pics of the install. I am impressed over all with these headers as i have also installed pacesetter LT on a 01 z and these are overall a better deal IMO. Throttle response is great and i dont think i lost anything at all down low as the myth says with 1-7/8 LT,s on a stock cube ls1. Actually seat of the pants it feels like i gained down low in torque and definatley noticeable gains up top! My car was dyno tuned before headers and tsp true duals at 318hp & 330tq on a dynojet. Later this winter i will be dynoing again but hopefully that is after h/c setup from tsp also 
As far as the install i cant say it was easy. Even tho the fit on them was great overall, it is a lot of work to get these big of headers on. Passenger side went in great, just had to have the car jacked up at least 18" to slide it in. The driver side on the other hand was a different storyAll said and done had to completely remove the ds motor mount,(not because of old or sagging mounts either). It was just flat out in the way. Also had to grind a bit on the k member. Not to mention i had to get the car almost 26" off the ground. Over all it went pretty smooth but was not me or my buddies first install on these cars either. I removed my air/egr sytems at the same time with a overall inatall time of around 7 hours. Hope this helps anyone interested in these headers from tsp. Great product just would not wanna install these very often.

Thanks for the feedback! When you say you ground on the K-member, was that to get them in, or to clear once installed? How did the moor mounts look? Could they be sagging some causing that clearance issue? We haven't had anyone tell us they needed to grind any, so I'm just curious.

FWIW, I run 1 7/8 and no cats on my C6 and I lost NADA down low, if anything, the tires fry instantly when I hit it. I would always go 1 7/8 since you never stop modding. But thats just me.
Well I just got done helpin BIGFTRUCK put those big f'in tubes in that car and man what a motherf@cker! There was literally blood, tears, gashes in hands grinding, motor mount movin and enough cussing that i'll probably never be able to kiss my momma agian! I hate installing headers on these cars it SUCKS!
But when it was all done the sound and the responsiveness of the car made it all worth it. These headers look and sound awesome. Just another Great product from Texas Speed.

Tomorrow i will try to get some pics posted of the finished product and maybe a sound clip. To answer matts question im sure we could have got these installed without any grinding of the k member but i didnt want to scratch the ceramic off any as it was such a tight fit we decided to grind the k member to help with clearance inatalling the headers. Once they were bolted in there is plenty of clearance between the headers and other parts of the car. The fit is awesome IMO. Also my motor mounts actually looked pretty good didnt seem to be sagging. I purchased the 02 exts from tsp but i used my gm gaskets and stock manifold bolts. They sealed right first time with no prob, and after around a 100 miles still no leaks. I love the deep throaty sound of these along with the TD w/ bullet mufflers. I was trying to decide between these and pacesetters and im glad i chose these since the mods will keep coming!
