Default Anybody try calspeed 1 7/8 Lts lately?

About to buy some 1 7/8 headers but I don't want to deal with abunch of crap. Just wondering if anyone has tried there "new" version lately?
If not screw it I will just get the TSP 1 7/8 for $100 more.

Are the TSP headers stainless?

Both are stainless. I will probably go with the TSPs even though there $100 more with no Y pipe included. I don't like the little disclaimer cal speed has about the motor mounts or dentin a tube with a hammer...

Do you have a NNBS or NBS, 4x4 or 2wd

I have installed two sets of cal speed, and one of the first sets online. Haven't had an issue, local guy to me did a set a month ago.

Cal Speed LT install

i just put calspeeds LTs on my truck today. everything fit good and had no clearance isses. just had a bit of a fish mouth on the elbow pipe on the drivers side that connects to the y-pipe. it was a little oval, i just put it in the vise and gave it a few taps to get it in. not a big deal. just take the trans crossmember out before you try to take the old cat/y-pipe assembly out.
