XS or TSP Headers??
Hey guys I am about to pull the trigger on some headers this week and I can't decide which ones to order. I am on a budget so I am thinking the XS headers or the ones from Texas Speed. If I go the Texas speed route I can save a little money because I don't have to get the x pipe. Just the pipe extensions. I took the h pipe out and welded an x pipe in its place so I could just use that.
My concern is which ones fit better and are going to make the most power. The price difference isn't really enough to really make much difference.
Any other setup ideas would be helpful too. Neither company has any available right now so I would have to wait. I really would love to find a set I could have by next weekend.
Thanks for all your help guys. I love this place!

The TSP ones are ceramic coated. I put them on mine 2 years ago when XS had a huge backorder. Even after sitting in every major rainstorm S Florida has had since then they still look good. Plus they come with a 3" X pipe. Not sure of the size of the Xpipe from XSPower. You wont go wrong with either if the car is a garage queen. If you get the TSP plan on 5 years or so before if you drive the car before you have to look at replacing it.

TSP are a 3" X. TSP are also longer primaries.
Gee, both have great pricing, and both are on back order!
I bought XS used and had them coated.
BTW, had a good closeup look (in my hands) at the AR 1/3/4, VERY nice quality.

I'm in the same boat...ready to buy a set just waiting on them to get some in stock at either place. If they don't.get some soon I'm afraid I will break down and pay the extra for some LG's lol.
