Sean, what are your thoughts on the supplied gaskets? Worth using or just grab some GM ones like you sell as an option online?

Thanks guys, ya we recommend the GM factory multi layer steel gaskets and stock bolts. With that combo we have never had a set come loose. The supplied gaskets are decent, but still a paper style gasket.

Thanks
Sean

Thanks. Already scored the GM's. I also bought header studs as well so I'll keep my fingers crossed on those. Any experience?

Just ordered a set of these and some poly mm's today. Looks like the real fun begins next week when they arrive. I have done this same install on my last 2 ls cars. It is lots of fun afterwards but not looking forward to the mm install.

Edit:

Wrong thread, whoops.

Is the ORY a 2.5" or a 3"?

If they fit as well as it appears they do instillation shouldn't be too bad.

I was referring to the mm install. I will say that my last TSP oryp had to be massaged a lil bit to get it on the car though. Hopefully this one is a better fit.

Do yourself a favor and install new mm's while you have the exhaust off. You will be glad you did.

Headers came in a couple of days ago and they are beautiful in finish and build quality looks to be superb. I have had Mac's, Hooker's, and Pacesetter's brand LT's and none look to be better in quality or design than these. I will hopefully install them this weekend and report back but I see no problems thus far. Thanks Speed Engineering.

Thank you for the business.

Honestly it hasn't been decided when we are going to build the 1 7/8" version. The truck versions are in the works currently, as well as 98-02 F-Body intake kits, and 99-06 truck intakes. It all depends on sales, and timelines. I would say they are definitely next after those, but still a ways out.

Thanks

Could you elaborate on these intakes? Is there a thread for them? I happen to own both of these vehicles and and am now very curious.
