I purchased TSP 1 7/8th headers last season and have had great luck with them. They are a good bang for the buck header and at 750ish I can't complain. Note the drivers side does hang a little low.

You get what you pay for. The Texas Speed headers for the price are very well made. That being said, the fitment can be hit or miss. You never really know.

I would stick to a name brand; American Racing, Kooks, LG, Stainless Works, Pfadt, etc. You will pay more but you will get better fitment and adjustibility which is worth it.

There is one primary on the driver's side does hang pretty low. Before installing them, I heated up that primary then hammered it so the low part would sit a little flusher with everything else. I figured hammering it before install would be better than not altering it, installing it, and letting the road make it flush. I've had them for a year (driven 3500 miles) and grazed the surface of the road with it twice. But my car is also lowered all the way on the stock bolts. If your car sat at a normal ride height I'm sure you would be fine. Everything else fit great. I ended up welding in some high flow cats to clean up the sound and now the exhaust note is glorious! For the price I would definitely do it again!
