Default Speed Engineering 1-7/8 Headers

Looking into Speed Eng. LT1- 7/8 headers for my ls1.. Any paticular reason why they are so much cheaper than everyone else.? Would you go a different route?

They are made in china.

I have the 1 3/4 version and they are awesome. Fit perfect and do just what they need to.

If I'm correct like most y pipes they are intended to connect to the factory 2-3/4" catback.. Which most aftermarket catbacks connect to the factory y pipe. You should be fine, but I would contact Speed Engineering to be sure..

It's been done... I just think it would suck to get all your components. Just to relize you need an extra pipe, etc.
