Default Top Speed Headers?

I recently picked up a C5Z with Top speed headers and X pipe.

Im a bit old school and have never heard of the brand. Does anyone have any experience good or bad?

Not sure if they should be replaced with a more quality set... or just keep them.

The set up is with an A&A blower, BTR Stage 2 cam, going to be doing heads soon.

Thanks in advance.

They are supposedly good budget headers known for their very easy and consistently hassle-free install.

I probably wouldn't use them because: 1) they don't have provisions for the air-system. At this point I'd like to keep that but who knows, all that stuff is extra weight. 2) They are 1 and 7/8th primaries and I would probably like 1 and 3/4s. Probably not a big deal. 3) They don't have a temperature coating that I'm aware of, but they can be wrapped.

They also don't utilize catalytics which are a personal must for me. Throwing high flow cats would be an option though. I wouldn't ditch them unless they crack, or they are giving you some type of problem
