Default Guys with TTS Headers...any problems??

Ok, I'm thinking of giving up my never ending search for Grott's and thinking of just getting some TTS longtubes, I like the thick flanges and that they can swap form cats to ORP's. Anybody have any problems with these?? ie install, fitting, emissions, etc?

You'll probably have to beat on the drivers side floorboard but other than that there should be no problems. That's what I had to do with mine. The flanges do hang kind of low on mine and I have scraped them occasionally.

Hmmm... just re-read your post. You can't swap the y-pipe to an off-road version easily. You might be thinking of the flps.

I really liked mine. I did have to touch up the floor board with a BFH but then they slid right in. Really woke the car up and sounded AWESOME!!!

Well they come with both ORP's and cats, like the FLP's, was my point. Unline the SLPS, which make you pay up the butt for both <img src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" border="0" alt="[barf]" />

TTS headers do not come with test pipes I don't think.

I have a set of them, used, they are great quality. I made a custom 3" ORP because we ruined the cats.

Onfire says they flow bad, but I have never agreed with that info, I forget what Norm @ Westech said, but he said that the brick in the TTS headers is pretty thin so it should not be restrictive.

BradWS6 has a 382ci and runs thru TTS cats and is running 11.1@121mph all day long.

I don't run thru cats FWIW.
