Props to TSP for improving the design and even offering the 1 3/4" LT's at a very competitive price! Hopefully next is a stainless catted y-pipe!!

I ordered my set as soon as you guys opened today. I actually called twice before that trying to see if someone showed up early haha.

Can't wait to receive them!

Jason, explain the roll this velocity spike plays. From what I understand, it helps the exhaust flow/exit better???

I went to their website and tried searching it there, but couldn't quiet find what I was looking for, so I figured I'd ask. With him being a sponsor, I also figured he could add some nice insight directly to his potential customers, which is an opportunity for him to continue to sell his product.

Let's work as a team here on Tech!

The other good news is we've added the velocity spike to them as per our customers requests!!
I have your 1 7/8" ceramic coated headers that I bought from you guys last year. How much more HP do your new headers with the velocity spike make over your 1 7/8" without the velocity spike? Is it worth swapping over?

I know TSP has an in-house dyno....maybe some numbers on these "spiked" headers vs the standard headers are in order.

IMO, it won't gain much if anything at all.

1 7/8 TSP Velocity spike headers vs 1 7/8 TSP standard headers.

George Kook Jr:

A better alternative for the racer on a budget is the spike collector. The spike unit is a collector with an actual spike welded into the center of the collector, at a point where the four tubes converge. "The spike guides the flow to the center of the collector and that increases flow," stated Kook. This spike setup is less expensive than a true merge collector, but it offers similar results.

Thanks, Tony

So Matt or Jason, 1 7/8 stainless headers that went out prior to 2012 came with out the velocity spike?

TSP could yo guys build a true dual setup that runs out the back like kooks... I bet that setup would sell like crazy with your current header price.

That is the collector that you see kind of neck down than flare back out, it helps scavenge exhaust gases therefore increasing power. It causes a venturi effect in the pipes. They are a pretty expensive option
