SP vs TSP Headers
I am ready to purchase headers for my 2012 L99 Vert. I would like your feed back on which option I should go with. Should I go with Stainless Power or Texas Speed and Performance headers(these fit my price range)? Also, does anyone know if the 2" TSP headers will fit a convertible?

I don't have any experience with TSP but Stainless Power is a very nice set of headers, especially for the price.

I couldn't wait Chase. I ordered the SP headers from your site 15 minutes ago. Thanks for all of your help.

For 460 you can't beat the price for a 1 7/8 or 2" Lt's, plus TSP designed and tested and run their own headers and they are a sponsor.

I wanted the cats. After adding the cats the TSP were about $100 bucks cheaper than the SP. Chase has been very helpful to me and many others here on the site so I decided to go with SP and get them from him. I also liked the fact that the SP have the spike in the headers like many of the higher end versions.

I don't think there is much meaningful difference between the two. I got SP headers because TSPs were backordered. If I could do it again, I would get the TSP headers because they are cheaper.

I didnt go after TSP because it seems they are really hard to get. So I got SP. would have been a toss up between the two if they were both available

Installed the Stainless Power headers and cats. I kept the rest of the exhaust stock as I don't want it too loud since it is a convertible. I love the power and sound . Thanks again Chase! Next move will be the tune from Ted. Here is a video of the first startup:
