Default Options for bigger primary headers

So far, everyone who wants to run anything bigger than 1 3/4" primaries have to go to the Kooks or ARH setup. I'm not saying this is not a great option if you want to drop a grand on headers. They are both stainless and very well built and the kooks even have the option for stepped primaries. I've seen TSP F-body 1 7/8" coated headers for about half of what the others are going for. Has anyone put these in a truck? Are the primaries placed the same? Pics??? Just trying to figure out something new for us truck folks

What happened to the 1 7/8 header thread? A couple guys bought and run the TSP F body 1 7/8 headers. They all said that they fit better then normal truck headers.

He is, I asked him the other day about those headers. He said that they made a big difference. He also has a H/C Ls1. I'm sure he will chime in as well as the others who run them
