Default Texas Speed LT's vs. Pacesetter LT's

I'm liking the Stainless Steel on Texas Speed longtubes but the price for Pacesetters is hard to beat. Any other differences that I'm unaware of? I've heard nothing but good about Pacesetters and nothing at all about the Texas Speed...

I think you'll regret not going with stainless headers. And you really cant complain about texas-speeds price, especially on the 1'' 3/4. What are planning to do with the y-pipe? I believe pacesetter y should work?

I have a 2006 4X4 Tahoe and called Texas Speed about headers recently. Think I spoke to Matt, if I remember correctly. I asked about the TSP stainless steel headers, but was told fitment was probably better with the Pacesetters, which is what I ended up getting. Not sure if this was because of the 4WD or if it was because I had a Tahoe. Before you commit one way or the other, maybe give them a call and ask.

A lot of guys on here have used the TSP 1 7/8 on rcsb trucks. Not saying they will fit yours just giving my 2 cents.
Other option is the Cal Speed 1 7/8, but those have a pretty bad Wrap on here....

We have revised out 1-7/8" on our next production run to provide even more additional clearance. It seems about 1 in 10 sets we sold have required some clearancing one pass primary for additional clearance to the frame as they come very close (most 1/16-1/8" clearance), also steering shaft comes close so we added some clearance there as well.


Our 1-3/4" are a perfect fit in our opinion on about everything.

Does the 1-3/4's still have some fitment issues on the 4x4 trucks?
