Whatever my advice for 2 go somewhere else I'm sure the 1 7/8 are great.
Well in the end I'm glad you got them on and I'm sure the power and sound after a tune will make it all worth it.

You post was absolutely pointless,made zero progress except bumping this back up to where a person looking for headers that's 2' can avoid TSP.
Sorry if my question was completely out of line. I didnt realize how difficult and pointless returning an item is. Carry on!

Despite my 2" TSP's rubbing on the passenger side for me, I still chalk them off as the best bang for the buck mod I've done so far. I'm not upset at all, just disappointed with that factor. Aside from that, I'd still recommend the headers to folks.

You're correct, and have a good point about the bang for buck. But if it was stated before buying I wouldn't care. For that price sure I'll dent the headers. But after reading this "new fit" thread I thought that surprise wouldn't be there. But yeah good headers just be wary of what they claim, ask questions but a 1 7/8 is more than enough for most.
