check speed engineering, also a sponsor here. Under $500 with the h pipe. Do not have catted versions and don't coat them, but still a great product for the price.

Thats looks great the Passenger side is even easier to install , No need to remove the starter like some of the big name Manufacturers.

How’s the passenger side install on a GS with dry-sump system?

The same as any other Header kit you just need to bend some of the oil lines to where they dont touch the headers.

Any other concerns/recommendations such as wrapping the starter, wires, etc. with heat shielding?

BigMonkey73, I see you went with TPS headers with no cats, I did the same on a 06 GTO I had in the past and ended up adding cats later due to the exhaust fumes in the cabin. Are you having an issues with your set up going without cats? Thanks for the reply...

Can't say that I am having any issues with fumes, no. I can't smell anything, or at least nothing that really bothers me.

just got the passenger side in. I removed the starter to wrap it and I also disconnected the manifold from the cat but overall wasn’t too bad.

We don't have GTO headers only Corvette and Camaro , you must be confusing us with another brand.

I just received an email update that you are waiting for all x-pipes for '09+ up cars - which is not what this reply stated. As a good business practice, you should probably let people know you don't have the parts in stock when they place an order. That or not process the payment until the order ships.
