Tpis
Anyone else besides me have an issue with getting a response back from TPIS? I placed an order that shipped on the 30th and according to UPS was never given to them. Tracking just shows its awaiting to be picked up. I have called and emailed TPIS more times than necessary. I'm glad i held off on ordering headers lol.

I’ve heard other discussions about them recently. I believe they are down to being a build as you go type thing and usually take a while to ship out. I’d try to be patient but the zero response thing is annoying. After a while I’d just contact your creditor and cancel. Plenty of other fish in the sea. But they do make some nice stuff.

i really liked TPIS’s steel ceramic coated 1 3/4”
long tube headers for my 93 lt1
fit well, easy to install. excellent spark plug access and were LIGHT !
made 355 rwhp and rwtq with hot cam kit and tune / stock lt1 exhaust on my 1993
Their flaw was I dont think they were true equal length
i went to ARH 1 7/8 (1 3/4” stepped stainless headers) and was apalled at how much heavier they were vs the TPIS headers I removed
spark plug access tricker also (but not terrible)
also the bigger ARH headers didnt clear the swingouts of my canton road race oil pan like the TPIS headers did
i had to put 1/8” spacers off the heads to get them to clear the swingouts

I've ordered from there before and the customer support side of things is not great. I've always received what I ordered, but they are not expedition by any means.
As far as their headers are concerned, they are pretty upfront about the wait time. You can be put on a list but no formal orders are being taken. I suspect it is a long long wait on those.
