Speed engineering headers - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

The Cartel · 11-06-2018, 03:06 PM

I have a stock 2014 Camaro 2SS. I decide to try out the Speed engineering headers since the ones I purchased for my f body fit pretty good. Unfortunately, the 5th gen headers hit the k member on down on the passenger side. I've had several emails with Jesse Schreefel from speed engineering explaining this. I took multiple pics and clearly showed the issue. They have no interest in replacing them or refunding me. I've searched and found others in the same boat. Seems to be the later 14-15 cars that they have failed to test fit. I took a chance on them buying a cheap part, you obviously get what you pay for. Just a heads up to the Camaro5 community. Buyer Beware. Thanks.

Same problem...

Mine fit fine....

Clarkstar, he stated they dont fit on 14-15 Camaro SS models. That does suck, its hard to find good customer service these days..

Thanks! My TSP long tubes have held up very well over the past 3 years, its too bad you had that experience. What are you going to do now?

No issues here either, mine fit perfect. Sorry OP that sucks that they won't work with you.

OK I think you hit the nail on the head stating that a person takes a risk when purchasing cheap priced parts. Many times people get lucky otherwise a company wouldn't last long. However, there's enough instances where fitment is an issue that they get a reputation. Hence the cheap price of the parts.

Good luck with your search for next set of headers and sorry to hear about your bad luck.

Let's not forget our friends at the top of the price chart. Many issues with them as well. Better to say, that when you play in the aftermarket field, you always take a chance, regardless

No issues with mine either. Had to put a very small dent on the passenger side to clear the frame portion. It would just barely make contact occasionally on start up. I consider that fairly standard for almost any header install.
