Default Headers rusted through

hey guys, so today i went to replace my o2 sensor and long behold i find that my long tubes are completely rusted through. Huge holes in both of them. I guess thats what i get for getting pacesetters. So i am looking for new ones and was wondering what people think of TSP stainless steel 1 7/8 headers. Any input will help. Money is kind of tight right now also so Kooks are out of the question.
Thanks guy

Our TSP 1-7/8" headers work very well and even have the velocity spike in the merge collector. We do have those in stock right now.

I just installed these on my car. Very nice! I wouldn't spend extra $$$$ on kooks or arh, TSP 1 7/8 headers have great fit & finish, look amazing!

I installed TSP 1 7/8" stainless headers on a friend's '00 Z28 not long ago, excellent fitment, finish and perform great. If you're on a budget, get them.
If it were me, even not on a budget I would probably still get the TSP 1 7/8" headers and just replace them when needed years down the road.
I also had TSP's 1 3/4" ceramic coated long tubes on my C5 for 3+ years and they still looked great and performed very well.
Many other manufactures do have great products, but at double or more the cost, I think TSP offers a better deal.
