TPiS LT's

Anyone running TPiS long tube headers? What sort of gains have you seen after adding them to your current set-up?

Thanks!

Might as well go with stock manifolds or shorty headers if you're going with those pieces of crap!

haha

I did read that the TPiS LT's have the best ground clearance out of all the LT's...which means a pro kit is soon to follow...

I guess the jokes on me guys.
Have you seen the Y pipe that Random Technology makes for TPIS Long Tubes? It would make a great bolt on exhaust.

dont know how good they are on fbodies, but TPIS LTs fit very well on both the C4 and C5s. on an 02 C5 with just headers and full exhaust which included random tech highflow cats and x pipe followed by a corsa muffler system the car picked up about 40 and 40 at the wheels. the car still had the paper filter element.

the point being that they have fit and worked very well on other cars. they should work well on the fbodies and the random stuff will work very well with those headers. build quality is very good with both companies. trey

200-101 Headers, 1993-1997 Camaro and Firebird, coated........$800.00


my jethots were $500 coated


i dont see how there can be much difference between them, maybe 5hp at most.

Do you think I could see over 300 rw after the addition of these headers with my current mods?
