Yeah I've always been a fan of spiral flows or sweet thunders, never really was a fan of bullets for some reason. But personally I would go with some single chambered flows.

I found this on LS1Sounds.com

This is the reason I want the TSP Dual setup with Sweet Thunder mufflers



I think that camaro is the best sounding F-Body I have ever heard. I only wish I could here it in person.

the tsp headers had a lot of fitment issues before. they may have resolved them now but im not sure. and their true dul setup is pretty nice. i had one with spiral flows and it sounded awesome!

What kind of sound are you looking for? That's the big question.

I had the TSP TD's, pacesetter Headers, w/ bullets, dumped. Woke the neighbors up every morning. lol Was loud but a little too raspy for me.

I wound up having a custom H-pipe TD fabbed up with Flowmaster Race (1 chambers) mufflers ran out the back.

It just all depends on what sound you want. The TSP TD's are great for what they are though.

The Texas Speed 1 7/8" F-body headers have had NO fitment issues to date. The only reported claim was due to a non-stock gear box and rack that was throwing off the geometry on the steering knuckle and cutting down the clearance. Those headers came back here, and installed flawlessly on the first F-body that came through the door.

I had the dynomax bullets and liked them but dont expect driving your car if its lowered, and it doesnt fit with a spohn torque arm either. I liked them but if you wanna go with a true dual setup I'd just have a shop fab it up with an H-pipe setup instead of an x-pipe so you can eventually run and aftermarket torque arm setup. Thats just my opinion on it. Dont get me wrong it was a nice setup but at least I only spent $150 for mine used from a buddy instead of $500 new.

The UMI torque arm will work with the TSP duals.

Not the best, but you get the idea... Bullets on QTP headers.
Hell i found a couple more lol


Hey twitch, you have cats on your Xpipe... do you have problems with inspection for it not being extended out the back?

I never like the UMI stuff, it didnt seem like it was as good of quality as spohns stuff. Like I said I would go with a custom setup knowing what I do now.
