So, the car is a daily driver, and probably will be for a bit longer..
Not sure if I want to go with Texas speed 1 7/8" long tubes w/ ORY, or the BBK 1 3/4" long tubes and ORY.

Since the car is a lowered daily driver I mainly just DONT want to scrape (or, scrape as little as possible.) I've heard the BBK's tuck up nicely, plus they're cheaper. At the same time, I dont mine spending the extra 200 or so on the Texas speed long tubes, but, I'm not looking for big power out of the car so 1 7/8" headers arent quite a necessity for me.

Just looking for opinions on both, and curious how the Texas Speed LT's and Y tuck up.. thanks guys

Oh, and I'll probably be installing these myself, at home.. So im also considering the installation factor since I don't have a lift..although I may be able to get access to one

I run TSP 1 7/8 and are a great budget header, have you thought about pacesetters? they are also a good quality header (1 3/4) and are cheaper than tsp's.

I haven't really considered pacesetters.. just something about them.. I definately DON'T want any exhaust banging issues etc, and I've heard a few horror stories with pacesetters..

I have heard nothing but good things about the TSP headers, and they are 1 7/8 also, so they will flow.

i run pacesetters and have no problems with them. Been running them for almost 3 years. If i were in the market right now for some longtubes, i definitely would run a 1 7/8 header. I would no doubt run those TSP headers or some ARH.

I heard that LPP is running a GP on their Stainless headers right now maybe you should check out their site.

I run Texas Speed long tubes and I haven't had any problems with them scraping. My tips on my turn downs scrap because they sit so low beneath the car (true duals).

I run pacesetters, but I buy from Texas Speed all the time and you cant beat their prices or quality of supplies.

I heard bbk had a new design that is a breeze for install,I have pace setter long tubes and have not had one issue with them,I have had them on for 2 years no issues what so ever,

I think the only banging issues on the pacesetters were with their Y pipe design. But if you go with TSPs new ORY w/ the pacesetters, you'll be in good shape, they were easy to install too. Go with the ceramic coated if you look into them.

I got BBK and no problems what so ever. CAn install them on ramps and they have ball joints, so no leaks

did you have to get anything that wasnt supplied with the bbk's?

You shouldn't have any scraping or problems with the TSP headers. The collectors tuck up really well and with the adjustability of the Y-pipe, you shouldn't have an issue!

No, but I didnt use their gaskets. I reused my stock ones.

I bought my pacesetters from texas speed with the texas speed ory, have never had any problems with the headers. No "banging" plus the price is hard to beat. The guys at texas speed are great to deal with, I'll be ordering my heads/cam from them this winter. Awesome proven performance from those guys hands down.

I would prolly get the BBK's. Ever single person i've read about having them is satisfied. Might get a little more ground clearance from the 2.5" Y vs the 3". Some guy did some dyno testing and found that the .5" is not a factor on horsepower.

Take it from me I have fiananced that place twice. 90% of my engine and 30% of everything else. Go with the Texas Speed product. You won't be dissapointed.
