Call Maryland Speed. Don't go buy their prices online. There is a minimum advertised price that most vendors have to post. Call them to get current prices on their "package deals" or "sales".

I don't know what their current prices are because they do change and I quit calling around once I got me headers. Back a little more than 6 mths ago when I was researching you could get a set of 1 7/8" un-coated to your door for around $850. Add some off-road connection pipes and you should be around the $900 mark. Again...those aren't exact prices but should be around that.

If you don't want KOOKS then call Apex. I think their prices were about that for a set of Stainless Works headers. If I remember correctly Jannetty had Dynatech for about the price as well. Then there is BFE headers....I think thiers were around $750 and they looked like a really good header for sure and made in the USA.

Again...I'm not trying to get into a header pricing war nor am I trashing or saying the TSP ones suck. I don't really know that much about the TSP 304 headers and they look reasonable from what I can see. I just wanted to say that there are plenty of options for a little more than what was posted ($700) and disagreed with the statement that others are double the price. You just have to shop around a little and don't always go by website prices.

When I did my research I didn't go by just the base price of the header. You have to compare apples to apples. What's the total price to get them the way you want (with coating or not, with HF cats or not) and shipped to your door.

The nice thing is that we have choices. If TSP fits your budget better...by all means buy them. From member feedback they sound like they are going to be a good seller. Their base price on their 304 is definately one of the cheaper ones around. Just do your own research and pricing so you know what fits best in your budget....that's all I'm saying.
