Default Installed LPP headers.

First, let me say these are the original design, not the new ones. I bought them from a member in July, New in box, never installed.

Anyways we finally got around to installing them monday night, and im very happy with them. The welds are awesome and they slid right in without removing or grinding anything. No removing the starter, steering shaft, oil filter, nothing. The only thing i would change is the y-pipe on the drivers side needs a lil more clearance, so its gonna get the BFH this weekend. So Anyone whos on the fence about getting some LPP's....GO FOR IT.

Im open to questions if anyone has some. It has a TSP rumbler cat back and that Joker is LOUD.

different design. LPP's have the bigger merge collector, drivers side collector has been reworked and probably better fitment on both sides

Question

Quick question, I used Stage 8 locking bolts, but i havent put the little locking mechanisms on, is it ok to have ONLY the bolts themselves?

I did the bolts themselves, could only get the lock on about 4 of them out of 12. I did have to retighten several bolts one year later.

How high did you have to get the car to put them in?

You can tell by the pics that they are not LPP headers. LPP headers have the high velocity merge collectors

Yeah that pic gives me a lot more confidense. I just have to get some good jack stands. I saw some 12 ton 28" tall ones for under $50. I think that should do it.

I was hoping to hear the tsp + LT headers combo. Considering it myself but I hate it when its too raspy.

I can get a sound clip tomorrow or something. I wouldnt call it TOO raspy but some people might. Its not raspy at all until you give it alot of gas, so just normal driving isnt bad. I guess it depends on your taste.

I just bought the new LPP design. Im not all the impressed with the quality. I havent put them on yet but i can already see that the tubes arent flush with the flanges. There are gaps where the tube wasnt welded to the flange perfectly. Just looks like sloppy work to me.
