Default TPIS headers worth a look?

Can pick up a new set for $550 for my 04'Z. Had them on my 99' coupe and wasn't impressed. Anyone have good luck with these on their Z?

you won't be impressed if you had them on the '99, basically the same car w/ better heads/cam

T304 SS is the way to go

I have them on my '01, now mated to Corsa Ti's and straight pipes. What's not to like?! (I WAS impressed with them when they were running through the stock Ti... They made a huge sound/SOTP improvement over stock, and I can't imagine that they don't make gains on the dyno, too.)

Can't help beyond that. Good luck.

It is a great bang for the buck mod at $550 and is compatible with a mild head and cam, stock, or bolt on car. If I had bigger cubes or radical head and cam I might go with a bigger more expensive header.
