Yes, they're awesome. Should be tons of info on here if you search mang.

Or are you talking about the stainless headers?

Here is a for sale thread I saw but I didn't look for more than about 1 second so I don't know if there is info on the stainless one's out there or not.

Basically, they are the best bang for buck header made from what I have heard.

Can I has the white TBSS?

The headers are very nice. And now with Stainless in the 500ish range. Can't go wrong. I ordered Hooker Stainless headers a couple years back but they kept pushing out the production date so I cancelled the order. They were only 500ish as well and very well made.

Looks like Texas Speed is about to lock that "quality stainless header" market. Most people aren't going to want to pay over double the price for maybe a couple horsepower. I specified "quality" cause some doofus will come in and say the ebay stainless headers are just as good.

I had the kooks on my last T/A. I think I am going to go with the Texas Speed headers. I know a couple of guys that have them and the Texas Speed true duals. They sound awesome as well. For what i paid for my last kook, y-pipe, catback, and install I can buy my full exhaust, and a cam and have it all installed. I may even have a few bucks left over.

In my experience, the TSP headers are the best headers for the money. I wouldn't hesitate buying them.

They are good headers. I had them on my C5Z06. Work great. No need to spend 1500 on headers.

Love my OBX on my C6. Would have gone with Texas Speed again if they were in stock when I was in the market.
