Speed engineering just released 2" headers for the 5th Gen ls3

Just wanted to give you guys the heads up if your looking for inexpensive 2" long tubes for the 5th gen Camaro, speed engineering just released their 2" longtubes and they are $349!! The next cheapest option is Texas speed which are $815.

If you've been wanting 2" headers for the 5th gen ls3 here's an inexpensive option.

To be completely honest... These look ALOT like the TSP headers that I bought. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they are made in the same factory in China.

Good lord $815? TSP 2" used to cost around $600, were always the same price as the 1-7/8".

Yeah I know, inflation. It's just shocking to see the rise in costs of some things.

Nice dude, how are they? I want to get the 2" headers and the 3" full exhaust system for mine. I mean you can't beat the price at all, that's dirt cheap for quality 2" headers, considering that American racing are $1300 and Texas speed are$815.

They look good, 3/8” flange is nice and flat and the tig welds look really good. Couple of the tubes have machine marks from the bends, but you will never see them installed.

Looks like I may be getting some as well. I can give my 3" ARH system to my son and run a hood dump on mine. Win-win

Bad ass, let me know how fitment is and if you run into issues during install.

Yeah. If your pushing in the 700 plus HP range, you'll gain at least 20rwhp or more going to the 2" primaries, especially if your s stroker and bigger cubes.

Oh no doubt brother. If I ever decide to upgrade to 2" this is definitely the route I am going.
