Well built piece, very happy and I haven't even heard them yet.
Another bump for these headers...without a doubt the easiest header install I've ever done (done 5 on F-body)

I didn't have to move anything at all to put the headers in, motor mounts stayed put and everything...tested before I tightened them back up by dropping the motor down and sliding them in first, but couldn't be more pleased with this so far. Upgrade in performance and upgrade in design.

I got my 1 7/8" SE headers today and I have to say the quality is better than I imagined. The spike inside the collector at the merge point is really cool. The welding & overall finish are fantastic. Thanks Speed Engineering!!!

I'm on your guy's website, and when I click to add the 1 7/8 headers to my car, it keeps saying that there are no products in the shopping cart. I've tried multiple times, but keep getting the same thing.

EDIT: Figured it out. I had to hold the control button down when clicking "add to cart". Stupid security bullshit they have at work.

Any plans on adding a catted ypipe? I really want a set of the 1-7/8 but I need cats to pass visual inspection and would rather not spend an additional $335 just to get the TSP setup.

Thank you again guys..

Rob WS6: No current plans sorry. I have heard from several customers that the TSP catted Y-Pipe does work with our headers however.

Thanks

Question for those guys who have received a set of the 1 7/8 headers in the past month or so; did your set come with the velocity spike? In another thread, Speed Engineering said thst the new batch coming in has the velocity spike. I want to order a set, but would like to make sure my set has the velocity spike. Anyone care to let me know if their set came with them?

Yes, they have the spike. I got mine 2 weeks ago.

One issue with these...the bolts for the exhaust clamps seem to be really weak, stripped one the first time I installed it, and another when I had to do the clutch afterwards. I wouldn't have minded having an option for a stronger option, just a thought.

Cstone812: Yes, Y-Pipe has O2 Bungs for optional wideband tuning.

McNasty: We agree. Clamps kinda suck. Unfortunately, those are the only option given to us. They work, but definitely not the greatest.

Thanks
