Default Header issue with TSP

I installed my brand new headers and they sit crazy low. Does anyone have this same issue?

My OBX rides higher and tighter... but also has a little tunnel clearance. On hard bumps when the exhaust shakes, it will contact the tunnel ever so slightly. Pick your poison.

This won't help the op any, but this is one of the reasons I went with Kooks when I put headers on my 2010 coupe...No fitment or quality issues

I've only installed a few sets of TSP headers, but that looks normal to me. TSP headers hang abnormally low.

Wondering if we're talking the same headers...Texas Speed headers are reported/known to hang low. TSP, I think, is a completely different outfit whose name sort of looks like a shortcut way of saying Texas Speed.

There was a thread recently where a TSP rep/sales person corrected us.

Good point. I was talking about Texas Speed, but abbreviated.

I was talking about Texas Speed as well. I saw them while my car was on the lift and they were sitting pretty flush in the tunnel.
