Ordering headers in a couple weeks, it's between the Speed Engineering and TSP 1 3/4" LT's, having a tough time deciding on whether or not I should spend extra on the TSP's, are they even worth it over these? I've read nothing but good about these Speed Engineering LT's and they're both stainless steel, also I read the TSP's are China made as well

You can get the Speed Engenering 1 7/8 headers for cheaper than the Texas Speed 1 3/4. I would go with the bigger ones.

Yeah that's true, I'm considering the 1 7/8 as well. Just wondering how these headers compare to the TSP's in regard to overall quality though, I've heard nothing but good things about both.

No one has the Speed Eng. 1 7/8 excluding the prototype(s) Sean has. So can't compare. I'm sure someone has compared the 1 3/4 versions.

SDyess: Yes, that would be a good combo. Unfortunately, we don't carry QTP any more. We need to get another connection on cut-outs.

FYI on the 1 7/8" headers. They were delayed a week or so due to filling the container they are shipping over in. ETA is approx 3 weeks from now.

Thanks
Sean

I thought DMH is not longer in business. I could be wrong.

I was on their site and it's still up but I went into ordering page and was getting errors and not able to complete an order.

I was looking on google shopping and a couple were listed but in description said no longer taking orders......you may be right.

Well pick a company soon Sean and if the quality and price is right I'm in

I just did nice looking kit, Made in USA! So single cutout is $320.

A bit pricey and I couldn't find any warranty info if their replacement plan is good I might consider it.

Manzo81maro started a thread on the single cut out he bought from RRP and said it came with a Lifetime warranty. Im going to call this week and get details. The dual system is a little over 600 on the site. It is pricey but if the warranty is legit its worth it.

Summit sells their own brand of cutouts.

As for DMH, there has been too much hit-or-miss with customer service and whatnot throughout the years. A search will allow one to make up their own mind.

Not sure who Summit uses as a supplier for Cut-Outs, but we can get those for sure. I will have to look into the other companies.

I finally got in touch with RRP and found out the warranty is only good for 120 days. I dunno where Manzo got his information.

When are the 1 7/8 Air/EGR version going to be made for the us people that have to have the air set up. I can't remove the system since i am in Texas. I really don't want to buy the 1 3/4. I would rather pay a few extra bucks for the 1 7/8 version. But I also don't and won't pay the high price all the other brands cost.
