Not to help the Ebay headers case here, but keep in mind header primary tubes should be measured OD, not ID! We have the 1 7/8" headers for $529.99 plus shipping and fit great! They have a great merge collector on them as well as the velocity spike to help average power and torque!

No idea I went from 1 3/4" Pacesetters with 3" duals dumped to TSP 1 7/8" headers, y pipe and 4" single exhaust. I cant say I feel any difference, but the sound quality was worth every penny. Did not have it dynoed before/after, but there was not a seat of the pants difference with my 370 setup.

I got tsp headers and a Y pipe, pretty solid fitment. I didn't do motor mounts like I should have so I do have some Y pipe banging and the clearance sucks on stranos. The only gripe I have is that since I've put them on I have an annoying *** chirping sound coming from the driver's side exhaust.

Long time reader first time poster haha....I have been keeping an eye on the forums in regards to Headers and I am gathering that TSP are pretty decent. With that being said, how much benefit is there to spending twice the money for "top of the line" Kooks or American Racing? Anyone....?

Spend 400 bucks or so more, for possibly 5 RWHP...? I've never seen back to back tests, but that's the claim. TSP headers have a velocity spike now as well, like the big boys, just not the high velocity merge collector.

ARH has a great Y pipe. Kooks does NOT.

With the Kooks, you can spend over a grand for a set of duals. The TSP duals bolt right up to TSP, Pacesetter, or Hooker. It will take serious modifications to get them to work on other brands.

500 bucks for stainless headers really can't be beat, guys.

Hard to disagree with that. I'm also running the TSP ORY, and like mentioned, if you take the time to actually test fit everything, it can be a fantastic setup. I always laugh when you see guys complaining about the TSP exhaust but are running lowering springs, etc. TSP's exhaust is the best setup you're going to get for that amount of cash.

the TSP headers are nice pieces...problem is they are always out of stock. I guess that means they are in high demand lol.
