Default TPS Headers?

I've read several installation threads and was wondering if you would use them again and how they are holding up.

Thanks!

No issues with mine. I got them uncoated in 1 7/8".

So long as you DO want the egr tubes, the product itself was fine.

The intent to repeatedly blatantly lie to me in my customer experience with him, and then his attempt to trip my wording so he could avoid repaying me when I had to have the credit card company go after him for a refund (90-day process, btw) was a biblical Eff You to the entire marketplace.

I do not deal with shady businessmen.

PS - Chynah

If you're good with the product, then I'd suggest Speed Engineering. Same production source, better quality, straight shooters selling it.

I am a believer in Speed Engineering as a company. Yes, it's imported stuff from Chi ner but what isn't these days?

It fits and it works.

I have the TPS headers and catted x-pipe set up from them. Happy customer, no issues. Installed them myself maybe 2 years ago

Default Tps 1 7/8"

I have their 1 7/8" Headers and catted x pipe going into my Borla Stype II and zero complaints. I would recommend getting them coated cause they do generate tons of heat. Boot shields on the wires wouldn't hurt either.
Also be prepared for more audible drive train noise with the long tube headers.

Must note that when I type “TPS headers” into the Goolgie machine, the first listing that comes up is Speed Engineering…
Second and third listings are TPS Motorsports, followed by threads here on the forum.

They are a company that is pretty low on the totem pole and some have had troubles getting exactly what they want to actually be delivered to them.

I don't think their product is bad but their customer service leaves some question.

That being said, there have been some questions raised about how good Texas Speed is anymore since they got sold out.

Update: I went with Kooks, I wasn't wanting to spend that kind of money, but I was afraid If I had issues they might be hard to get ahold of.

Good choice. I've had Kooks 1-7/8" LTs on my C5 since 2005. No problems, ever......

It is on things not so easy to research lol.

Researching how good/bad a product is, is a little more difficult than googling a company name lol. For the record I was just messing with you.

Per OP's request
