Default Pacesetter Long Tubes or TSP Long Tubes???

I cannot decide on which one to go with. I can't really find anything on the TSP Long Tubes. Anyone on this forum that has these? Also, was it hard to put them in or did you have to cut anything to make them fit. I have heard that some LT don't fit quite right. I have heard great things about the Pacesetters, but I am thinking about the TSP LT. I just don't know much about them. What do everyone think I should go with?

i got the pacesetters, they are about to be installed along with some other stuff. i know tsp is a very reputible company and im sure their headers are good. but i personally, do not have any experience with them.

they both are decent,reasonably priced headers! both will also make equal to similar power ( all things being equal). For the price u cant go wrong with either and i hear fitment is great on both! Now if it were my money and i had to spend it on either id say TSP no doubt!

might i suggest spending a lil more money for better quality and a few more hp across the board....why not take a look at QTP, ARH and KOOKS, while they may drain your pocket up front at least you know u did it right and wont have to worry about it again

Here's a thread that might help you decide on your 2 options that you have listed.

i ordered my pacesetter and tsp ory from texas speed along with gm gaskets and 02 extentions ans every thing fit great.
only thing i had to do was grind down the tab on drivers side of the block and they slid right in.
pacesetters fit really good and my ground clearance is good and the tsp ory is easy to adjust and get together.
i did it all by my self but cant give an exact time because i had to stop a lot to do other crap for the fam lol.
i vote the same setup i ordered.

I just don't know if I could go out and pay $700 or more for headers, when I can get Full Exhaust for $1000. I will have to think about it. I am really leaning towards the TSP, since I have heard good things about there products. I was going to go with the Pacesetters, but the TSP do look like they might be a little better for the money. Thanks for the help guys.

Thanks for the link. That helps a lot. I don't think the TSP are much more than the Pacesetters either.
