What's up guys iam thinking to buy headers from tsp 2inch lt what's the pro and cons thanks

blazzin1 · 12-24-2013, 08:34 AM

Plenty of "Pros".....

The only "Con" I can think of is the need for a tune after the install....which will void your powertrain warranty (if you haven't already). But in my experience, the perm-a-grin outweighs the warranty by far!!!

Are you planning on big power upgrades? 1 7/8" are best suited for stock to 600rwhp or so. 2" for big power.

Cool! Definitely no cons to LT's if your warranty isn't an issue because of tuning! I can't comment on the TSP brand though, I have Dynatech LT's, so someone with TSP's will have to chime in for anything specific.

I have buddies with TSP headers and they have all said the same great things about the fit and finish. I got to see one set before install and they looked just as good as any kooks or other brand headers. You will love them!

Pros: Power, sound, fit & finish, price, and did I mention power?

Cons: Some people have to dimple the 2" other don't. You loose a little bottom end but gain it back up top.

I don't about warranty cuz dealer won't help I snd my car in for a issue which is the clicking noise they told me they don't hear nothing but I have die heart chevy guys that been in the game for over 40 years and they told me they can hear it bad set of lifters iam not worry about that I am going to change them any way when I put new cam in

The TSP's are the heaviest headers I've seen. There headers and high flow cats weight as the same a stock manifolds and factory cats!

With most other headers on the market you will lose some weight over the stock stuff.

There have been quite a few posts about the 2" tsp headers needing some 'help' to get to fit right. Clearance here, there...shift motor over. Bah...1 7/8" will do fine and clear everywhere. But that's the only downside to 2". I personally like the collector better from other manufacturers.

steven2680 · 12-24-2013, 11:28 AM

So your say go with the 1 7/8 headers for great fit

My 2" TSPs fit perfectly. Absolutely no issues during my install. Installed both of them from the bottom. Biggest hint from my installing them is to disconnect the steering shaft from the rack for a bit more room. It makes a big difference.

I've heard nothing but good things about tsp headers!

Big diff in power

I dyno'd an additional 33hp peak from stock after the tune. Headers was literally the only thing I changed. Still stock catback.
