Default Best headers to compliment tsp tue duals

Wanting to get a set of tsp x pipe true duals and was wondering what headers would compliment the system the best performance and sound wise, also don't want to make it ungodly loud so keeping that in mind what do you guys think? Also the system will have the tumbler mufflers on it.
Also which will make it louder 1 7/8 or 1 3/4 headers, I'd like to go with the quieter of the 2. My 2 year old son has to ride in this car so don't want him to go deaf lol

The true dual bullet system is no doubt going to be loud no matter what header you choose, but our Texas-Speed 1 7/8s stainless headers are a great way to go if you have more aggressive engine mods planned for the car down the road.

Loud is fine, I want a loud and mean sound, but not to the point where I can't hear myself think

If on a budget id get the TSP 1 7/8s but if budget isn't an option kooks and ARH are the top dogs in terms of quality.

Only on a cold start and wot are when their "loud" otherwise they just sound perfect imo. And the loud I'm talking about.sounds great. Not ear deafening at all, especially after it warms up...A cam in their is a different story. Next set I'll get in tsp stainless 7/8ths..great price comparably for stainless.

My arh's are great. Slid in easy, and didn't remove a damned thing. I've seen multiple cars have tsp's hitting the steering rack and require the MM pedestal to be removed. They make a good product but for ease of installation and top quality kooks or ARH is it

I just installed TSP 1 7/8 and TSP rumbler duals. The fit and quality of the header is amazing. No regrets at all.

The TSP rumbler is supposed to be similar to dynomax bullets. TSP made them quieter though..

if it were louder i dont think i would like it. its definitely loud enough as it is. I got them because theyre highflowing. the quieter the better, i dont like the fuzz behind me haha.

but man are they nice sounding. id say perfect for my taste. definitely agree with you TXZ

Well for what a set of arh's cost they'd better be perfect lol, but its sounding like when the time comes ill be going with the tsp's, but if you get a chance to get a sound clip sick could you possibly do two? One on cold start and another after they warm up a bit, just so I can get an all around feel for how that setup will sound.

I agree and they are lol but keep in mind spending the extra coin on ARH or Kooks gets you a product made in the USA and puts money into us industry vs something made overseas.
