TPIS Long Tube Headers

Im highly considering the TPIS Long Tube Headers for my 96Z. Anyone who has them have a complaint or compliment about them? How was installation? How is plug clearance? How is spark plug wire clearance? Do they come with good gaskets and all mounting hardware? Do their y-pipes fit good or is there a lot of bending? All information about them is appreciated. Thanks

I was considering them also. They look like a good product. And i guess they have decent ground clearence. Kinda pricey but prolly worth it. ANyone on here have them?

Yeah I've heard nothing but good things about them. *Supposed to add 20+hp* and excellent ground/plug/wire clearances. I'd just like to make sure before I spend $890. I'm gonna get the y-pipe with no cats, I'll eliminate the EGR valve and air injection. Definitely need a tune after that one!

Here's some pics of my new TPiS Headers that are going into my car this week. They're near the bottom of the page.
I welded in the emissions fittings and had them coated here locally.
TPiS has a unique system that uses regular 3/8" by 3" manifold bolts instead of the tiny header bolts everyone else uses.
Since they use a slip fit for the collectors there's no flange to bang on the floor and clearances are tighter.

I'm having a ciustom dual cat y pipe made up to clear my Gearvendors.
Next mods, Powerdyne 6 psi S/C with Methanol/Water Injection!

Oh ,
I bought my headers in January right from TPiS for 700.00 uncoated.
Their price for the coated ones is 800.00.
I had to wait about a month from the time I ordered.
