I have the TSP system on my car with pacesetters. I would recommend getting the piping welded up. I hit a 1 foot pot hole and ripped my exhaust right off.

AY CARAMBA! welding is always a good idea but in that case maybe having a welded setup would have caused more damage at the heads. I think

I did the install by myself, spent 2 hours making sure everything was done right. Nothing was screwed up thank God. I dont want to have the headers welded to the pipe, use a band clip there. Also, that was ripped off at 70 mph. The system sounds awesome, and really did a good job from the straight headers i had.

ive had my tsp true dual system on for about 2 weeks and it sounds awesome with the pacesetter headers. i also plan on getting my system all welded together since the c clamps hang almost an inch lower than anything else in the system.

Just to clarify: Our kit is mandrel bent, and has several pieces designed specifically for adjustability and added clearance.

Any plans on making it compatible with Flowtech LT's? I know u guys mentioned that those LT's had crappy fitment...but now a lot of people are starting to run those headers and are having good experiences with em...as do I. Anyway to fabricate a flange so it can bolt up to the LTs? I would really love to have this setup

The clearance is very good if you take a long time adjusting the system. The tips are right at the rear sway bar. Its a very clean system, just takes time, and hard to do on the ground with jack stands.

The system was really nice and mandrel bent. I just had some mandrel bends added to tuck it even closer to the floorpan. As for ground clearance, mine didnt scrape at all when it was being loaded onto a flatbed tow truck, and it was coming in at quite an angle. It looks low, but not any lower than anything on a lowered car would look like. TSP has awesome customer service. I have dealt with Matt on several occasions. He is always quick to reply ot my emails and answer all of my questions.
