Looking for opinion on both.

Speed engr. LT cost a lot less than tsp so im wondering how well it performs vs. tsp

They're likely made in the same factory. Go with whichever is cheaper.

They are not made in the same factory. They are built similar as they are both polished stainless steel and 1-7/8" headers. Ours does have a velocity spike in the merge collector. From what I've seen Speed Engineering does not.

Love my TSP 1 7/8. Amazing quality, fit, finish.

Either ones will satisfy you.

That was said facetiously rather than matter of fact. Either way, one needs to decide if a velocity spike is worth $270...

I myself went with the originator - Texas Speed. Loved mine. If I ever get another FBody, it will be Texas Speed.

Are you paying 270 for a velocity spike? No. You're paying for all the R&D that went into the ORIGINAL design.

Why pay over 200 more for the same china made stuff?

Personal preference, and supporting who helped / helps me a TON. Order whichever you prefer. I'm simply putting in my 2 cents.

Tsp on my two cars. If I had to do it again it would Tsp.

If I ever buy more headers they will be SE. Cant beat that price.

Some people think they are getting better quality because they pay more for them but What ever

I didn't see anyone say anything about quality at all...

I really loathe these "vs" threads.

They're similar. That's about it. Choose what you like from who you like, and what fits your budget. Both are budget headers.

It would be nice to see some side by side comparisons and measurements.

Well said. The facts are there on both brands. One can choose based on their own personal utility gained.

FWIW, SE has put a lot of R&D into their headers, too.

SE has provided detailed measurements of their headers. They can be found in the very long thread in this section.

I would like to see if they both make the same power or if one makes more becouse of that spike

I'd say the velocity spike is worth some ponies.
