The original ones were. They came out with a different design, similar to ARH.

I vote ARH because it's what I have and they are awesome in terms of construction quality, fit and ground clearance.

I vote ARH though, high quality headers compared to the ones I've seen on friends' cars. They tuck up nice and tight too, so there aren't as many issues with ground clearance.

Ordered mine through Mike at S-K Speed, sponsor on here. Good guy to work with.

FYI my ARH fit great and install easy. Done it a few time on normal jack stands all the way up in the garage. Don't have to touch the motor mounts, and I have the stocks with the beefier poly inserts, the steering shaft, or the oil filter. I know with the TSP you have to take all that off, and the alt. to get the motor mount bolt out, to jack the motor up a bunch.
