Default Texas Speed headers

Has anyone installed a set of Texas Speed long tube headers? If so how was the fit and finish of them? I am looking to into buying them and want some feedback before I make the purchase. Thanks.

Finished the install this week at Extreme Performance in Oklahoma City. The install went great the only problem was that the O2 sensor holes were not quite over far enough and somewhat hit the tunnel plate. Other than that the install went rather smooth, no fitment issues or anything odd. The SOP feeling is defintely there and ran a buddy of mine tonight after the install who is usually dead even with me, to see if there was any difference. I easily pulled on him and quickly gained lengths on him in which I usually was bumper to bumper with him.
