Default Wow....these tsp headers....

Are amazing. The quality is so nice over other headers I've had in the past. (Hedman, pacesetter, hooker). I'm excited to get them
On the car! They showed up quick, and look amazing. I'm happy I went with the stainless 1 7/8. Can't wait!

Awesome..Let us know how they fit. Some say they fit well, and others have said they had clearance issues with the K-member. I'm looking into buying a set of these myself..Is that a velocity spike I see?

Yes they now have velocity spikes.


I installed my 1 7/8" TSP's last week, and there were no problems with fitment or installation. I also did motor mounts at the same time since my driver side was torn.

Good to know. I'm about to pull the trigger on a set.

I just installed a set myself and didn't have any issues. The driver side was a PITA but once I unbolted the tranny mount and used a pry bar to move the engine over then the header slid right it.

Definitely the best deal on headers out there. I ordered them back in September when the stainless ones first came out but haven't installed them yet. I'm waiting for my fast 90 which is gonna be here tomorrow. Can't wait!

I've read about fitment troubles as well.

Is it a case of doing the motor mounts at the same time cancels out all the potential hassles, as you have to unbolt and slightly lift the motor anyway?

I'm considering these as well.

These cars are 10-19 yrs old. Whether they have 10k miles or 250k miles all rubber mounts will be sagging, dryrotted, deteriorating, etc etc. If your already doing headers you really might as well do motor mounts. Nothing else needs removed once the manifolds/old headers are out of the way. Now its up to you whether you go with oem rubber like I did, poly, or solid mounts.

I did my install on a twin post lift, and only had to remove the plugs/wires, oil filter, and oil plug. The starter and steering shaft didn't need to be remover like some people say.

Anyone know the average install time for the TSP duals? I can't find a lift to use, so I have to jack the car up. I just put on my TSP headers Monday. They rock!!
