My new TSP 2" headers - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Got them Cerakoted. They turned out great! Looking forward to replacing the OBX 1 7/8 headers that's on it now.

Did you use the open air cure or the bake? Did you do it yourself?

eLeSthree · 11-24-2020, 05:34 AM

Hope they look that good once you force them in! haha.

The first set I owned lasted 4 years until I smashed into a fuel tank lid at the gas station.
I'm on my second set now and it seems the quality has only gotten better.

My only "complaint" would be the slip fit. I always had leaks there. I have my exhaust guy weld a 3 bolt flange right onto the collector and ditch the offroad cats and connect pipes.

They look great.

My 2" TSPs hit the passenger side cradle, the 1 7/8 never had any issues

Mine only hit there when I changed to BMR motor mounts and iron block. Homemade 1/4 spacer under MM fixed it.

On the stock motor and stock mounts, I only had interference on the steering knuckle. Which sucks, cause I had to take them out and beat them with a hammer.

I never had any fitment issues with my TSP 2". They fit great with factory motor mounts and they fit with BMR motor mounts - with and without a 1/4" spacer. It's funny how sometimes people have fitment issues and some don't. We'll see when I get my new iron dart block if I get any issues. I'm not afraid to do some hammering though.

I saw those spacers you had made. I may need to do this since I have a set of the BMR solid aluminum mounts waiting to go in

I should have gone solid. The poly is already squished and distorted. I was afraid of being rattled to death, but kinda beyond a street cruiser at this point.

I had it done.

InFiD3ViL · 11-24-2020, 01:32 PM

Dang, they look great. Looks like they changed their ID plate... at least I think it looks different than my TSPs, I don't really remember. Uhhg, I'm paying now for the things I did in my youth.

Anyhow, does the Cerakote go inside as well? Or is it only an external coating?

Bo White · 11-24-2020, 01:40 PM

External

do u know which cerakote u used? Air cure or oven?
I’m debating now if I should go with 2400deg but it’s black. I’m thinking clear or silver like yours which I believe is good to 1200 or 1600?
If I need 2400 deg protection I need to worry a lot more on other shit then headers.

looks great!

Any benefit of going to a 2in header vs 1 7/8
