TSP headers are $470 and the SP are $700. I will most likely be pairing them with a Borla S type axle back. Thoughts?

Its a pipe that exhaust flows though. They're both the same thing. One costs $230 more, one is hard to find in stock. Pick your poison.

Maryland Speed has SP for 599 plus free shipping. SP also includes O2 extensions, clamps and headers bolts for that price. No new gaskets. TSP charges shipping and 40 for O2 extensions and includes new gaskets and clamps.

I've got sp headers and there awesome. Install is simple pretty much fall in place and quality is excellent. Can't go wrong with either option.

That price is retail for the SP headers without cats or off road pipe. It does include all of the other components you mention. Add $100 for the off road pipe or $300 for high flow cats.

go with the tsp.

JEFF75645 · 03-15-2013, 06:50 AM

I forgot about cats since I dont run them. That jacks the price up. Look for a deal on some used ones in good shape.

But you cant go wrong with either brand.

The Stainless Power headers or Great, fit,quality and power!

Both header brands have great reviews & I don't think you can go wrong with either. That being said I'll put our header combo against any brand at any price. I don't care which brand you select, I'll easily put our headers against them in finish & power production. We didn't build the header to be cheapest we built it to be the best quality header available. It just so happens having buying power to buy them 200+ sets at a time allows us to be aggressive in our pricing. It's all about making the best possible horsepower & offering our customers the best possible product.

The SP are made in china with American parts. The TSPs are made in china, but I'm not sure if its Chinese parts.

TSP. worth the wait for the back order to clear. Can't beat the deal price and fittment wise. I have the TSP headers/high flow cats and they bolted up to the stock pipes as advertised with no issues. Made great power too.
