Default Just got my Texas Speed Headers

My Texas speed headers finally came in after ordering them on the day TSP got their shipment in. I'm super excited, and am literally ripping a hole in the front of my pants, but I stupidly forgot to buy O2 Extensions so no install over this weekend.





This is my complete setup, TSP 1 7/8 headers going to 2 cherry bomb vortex mufflers and dual 3.5 inch exhaust tips (Though I want to get dual 4"). When I finally get my baby to an exhaust shop that does mandrel bends, probably Spintech which is headquartered near my location, the setup will be a dual 3" under the axle exhaust.

And here is what everyone is interested in (Not my stupid exhaust setup) the TSP headers.





They are 304 stainless to my knowledge and have beautiful welds on them.





The only issue I have with these headers is that it uses a regular merge instead of a merge spike, and they have some welding debris inside, but that's nothing that I won't be able to get rid of with a Dremel.

Thats what I was thinking, unless I read it wrong. You need turndowns to dump it after the header/muffler setup, not tips lol.

You can use the vette 02 sensors instead of getting extensions. That's what most people do myself included. Very nice looking headers. Are those the new ones they are making?

Tubing to my understanding is measured by O.D. My old LPP stainless 1 3/4 were 1 5/8 I.D.

Tubing is measured OD, piping is measured ID. Take the caliper to the outside of your primary and they will be 1 7/8". Measure a Kooks, ARH, Pacesetter, OBX, etc and confirm that anytime

look like a nice set of headers but why no merge spike?

They explained in another thread that they tested another competitive brand with one and theirs made the same if not a bit better at the dyno.
