TSP 1 7/8 header install....
my car hasnt ran since i put it away last year. i am ready to drive it and what a set back that driver side is. car is as high as i could get it, did pacesetters twice with same height. oh well i'm sure the solid mounts will be worth the install problem in the end 
Whether you had solid mounts or regular mounts, i'm pretty sure you still would've had to pull the pedestal to get these in, don't think it's a solid mount problem. I hear ya on wanting to drive the car, mines been down a little over a year, I still have to get a throttle body and injectors though, so that's why it wasn't too big of a deal and i'll just do it next weekend, no if I had everything to be able to start her up I would've been really pissed, but just kept goin and got the bitch runnin!
Yeah, I got bored this morning and went ahead and put the drivers side one in, removed the drivers side mount and had to do the same with loosening the pass side mount on the bottom so I could lift the motor up a little.
from my inspection they are nicer than pacesetters and absolutely fantastic for the price. I inspected them closely and dont think they need any improvement, your getting more than your moneys worth for a ceramic coated 1-7/8 direct fit header.
I give them a solid 8.5/9 rating and was very impressed with them.
I disagree....i received one of the first sets and they went in with no problems.

I'm curious about this too, I'm looking to get headers + true duals from TSP, not sure whether to go pacesetters or the TSP 1-7/8. The small price difference doesn't make much difference to me, but if the TSPs are such a pain to install then I'll definitely go with the cheaper pacesetters.

well i just installed my 370 iron block with these on it, and the only problem that im having is the steering knuckle is rubbing the number one header tube, its not bad, but it is rubbing. anyone else having this issue? and i do have
.040 milled heads and poly motor mounts. is there anything that i can do to fix this?

buddy of mine had this problem and found out that the motor mounts were bad and it was letting the motor sag and hit the tubes he replaced the stock motor mounts with solid mounts and the problems were solved.

i had to do the same, my headers were rubbing on the steering knuckle until i put in solid mounts. they are a MUST have with these headers in my opinion...... probably should come as a package deal
well ive got the polyurethane mounts that only have a couple thousand miles on them, im probably gonna grind on the steering shaft a bit, its right below the knuckle where it gets big and goes over the shaft itself. its catching that edge right on the front side of the header tube. i really dont wanna change motor mounts, its a pita, and i wore out on working on this thing.
oh my god, these headers make a god aweful raspy poppy sound with my tsp 3in. ory and 3 in. cutout. its horrible from 2200-2600. even when i have it capped you can still hear the raspiness from 2200-2600. has anyone else had this same problem. its really unbearable.
