Your supposed to remove the rear O2 and keep the front o2, the extension adapter just gives you more room to play with so you can tuck the wire away from the headers. I've heard stock wire reaches when you unclip it but how close is it to your pipes?

Just installed my TSP 1 7/8 catless on Friday. I also have Flowmaster AT Catback w/ X pipe. Dont have a tune yet, I will in a few weeks. Here's a video right after we finished

But the ex. plugs i got from Texas Speed was for the ones in the back they connet to the O2 in the back not the front thats why i did it that way but i will call them in the morning and see what the deal is...

I'm not sure about extension plugs either. We didn't use them on mine and just unplugged the stock wires from the harness at the body

I unplugged the rear o2 the connectors have a clip holding them tight to the trans I did get the extensions for the front o2 and wire tied them neatly I also head to clearance the primary on the drivers side that was hitting the steering knuckle and also one on the passenger side that would hit the frame when turning left. I havent tuned yet but you can notice the power thru out the rpm range up top it pulls like a freight trane. the sound is awsome too. I know once I get a tune I will make more power. Even with the clearance issues I still think the Texas speed headers are awsome specially at that price I love them

Installed my TSP 2" LT Headers this weekend. They are excellent quality and sound awesome! turns your car into a different kind of beast with increased power after a good tune

just ordered the 2" set today cant wait to get them and install.

You wont regret it 2" tubes pull like a freight train accross the entire rpm band

What is everyone doing in regards to clearance on the driver side ? I only rub when turning right an it is just slightly, are you guys grinding down the steering nockel ?

Found this pic of the headers the day we installed them. Thought it belonged here.
TSP 1 7/8" 304 stainless from August 2013

I am leaning towards getting the 1 7/8" version since I will be tracking my car extensively, and I don't want any rubbing/touching issues whatsoever. How much of a difference in power does the 2" version make over the smaller version on an otherwise stock engine?

Also, do you guys know if there is any simple handheld tuner device with off-the-shelf tunes that are good enough for LS3s with an LT header? I don't want a custom tune for the last few ponies; I'd much rather use a generic tune that will be safe enough to even work when the engine overheats at the track, or if I end up getting a crappy fuel around some of the tracks which are in the middle of nowhere : )

Why tune at all until you can get a dyno tune?
Almost 15,000 miles on mine with no tune and still running great.

Good point, but I see two issues: the check engine light will be on, and since I'll learn to ignore it, I might end up missing the error codes for an important issue. Secondly, the car will be running pig-rich(?), washing out the oil film in cylinders, reducing its effectiveness, even causing oil consumption, especially at the track.

I got TSP LT headers on my 2011 2SS/RS and love the way they sound and look
