Default Are these two Headers the same?

Are TPIS Headers and RK Sport LT Headers the same?

I heard they are the same pipe diameter, dimension and material including coating just made by two different companies.

The RK Sports are more than $100 cheaper though. If they are the same, the savings might be worth it.

Any feedback? :confused: :crazy:

I think they are exactly the same (both made by TPIS) I thinkk RK Sport just has them listed as RK Sport headers

They are in the RK Sport web page as $879. I think there are a few vendors who have them listed for $850

I just picked up the TPIS coated LT's from the Mall at $845.00 (LAPD). Great service and price (over night FEDEX)! The fit and finish was great- installation not all that bad- but you do have to move the starter out of way. No need to pull vavle covers as in the TPIS instuctions- just the coil packs.
