Manzo header review
Ok guys, after cam install and conversion was on a budget for LT headers. I was searching and reading reviews and saw people were skeptical on the Manzo brand. So this week I finally had time to take to my tuner for install, tune, dyno, I asked Chad at THE SHOP what his thoughts were on them.
{ Chad said welds were good, placement of o2 bungs in correct place, stainless was good, heavy duty flange. Install went fine,said went on like the Kooks headers, he was impressed} I paid 3 bills for them and would buy again. So if your on a budget take a look at them. Oh yeah after install, cam and headers added an additional 65Hp, will post dyno results after I pick car up this evening. |

That's good to hear as I just looked at a set and was kind of wondering if anyone had used them before. Thanks!

A lot of us caught flack for buying OBX....now they are quite popular along with a lot of budget headers. Us guinea pigs have proven they are quite good and last as long as the expensive ones. Not knocking Kooks or ARH....good quality, great customer service....but after awhile people do get tired of paying big bucks for a name and mass produced product. Enjoy you new headers!.

Just FYI, Speed Engineering headers fit just as well and are just as good of quality for a very similar price. $355 shipped with O2 sensor extensions and offroad connection pipes.

At the prices the TSP headers are i still feel its a no brainer and get confused as why people wouldnt run those. They are a MUCH thicker stainless than alot of similar priced longtubes.
