if your looking for Bang for the Buck... TSP or Stainless Power great build quality and great fitment. I just put a set(TSP) on a friends 2010 and will be running 1 7/8 Catless with their 3" exhaust on my 1LE.

Also keep in mind, Kooks recently came out with value packs which lowered the price about $100-$150 a set.

Talk the person with the KOOKS down on the price since there aren't any connection pipes.

Both are good products and will most likely perform the same, last longer than your car......and quite possibly you too! Most all your common brand names will perform and last the same.

Rattling is an adjustment issue at install. Someone needs to go back and try a little harder on the install unless there is an unfixable contact issue. If so, Kooks would replace that. In terms of appearance, SLP's are 409 stainless, which is lower quality and will develop surface rust. Because of that, they ceramic coat them from the factory. Kooks are 304 aircraft grade stainless. They will NOT rust, so they do not ceramic coat them to prevent rust. 304 stainless does bronze over time. I am guessing the bronzing is why you think they look bad? |

I had them done locally here in Michigan. Just ceramic coated. I know there is supposed to be a benefit when it comes to under hood temps... regardless I would have done it for the looks.

I have a very old pair of SLP headers on my everyday driver 2002 SS Camaro and they still look pretty good (very little rust). I purchased them new in 2002 when they were on sale. Wait for SLP to put the gen 5 headers on sale...free shipping or 10% off list price.
