Default TSP 1 7/8" Header Fitment?

Well, I'm starting to piece together what I need to install headers and true duals. I'm gonna be using tsp true duals with some magnaflow mufflers. What I'd like to know is how well do the new TSP headers fit. I've got an auto with the stock k-member, stock ride height. I've read some grinding can be involved. Anyone running these? Opinions would be great a help. Thanks.

Well I have been running them for almost a year now. When I installed them the passenger side was easy as hell. The driver side needed some work I took out the oil filter, steering shaft, and motor mount and lifted the motor up a lil bit made it a two person job. I'm also running there tru dual system everything went together pretty easy.

I installed these a couple months ago. To get the drivers side in i took off the oil filter, undid the motor mount, lifted the engine, and took off the motor mount stand off bracket, then it slid right in. Good luck!

Jeez, I'm all about easy. I think I'll spend the few extra bucks and just get some Kooks or ARHs. Thanks for all the replies guys.

just stick with an 1 3/4 header if you want an "easy" install. It's the bigger primary size that makes them a little more difficult to install NOT the brand name. I don't know if you plan on upgrading you motor mounts to poly's or not while your are in there, but if you do upgrade mounts then the install is as easy as anything else.
Take mount out
slip header in
put mount in
