Default LPPs for sale?

Ive looked through the for sale section and i couldn't find any. Does anyone have a pair that they would like to sell? Or am i out of luck until the new batch comes out?

headers usually dont come with gaskets and bolts, and the next batch shouldnt have any fitment issue from what I've read.

I'm tired of people crying about how "difficult" headers are to install. These are probably the same people who try doing it with their spare tire jack and a $40 dollar set of Alltrade tools from Pep-boys outside on their gravel driveway.

So they don't come with bolts and gaskets, so what? Meow. Personally, I like the option of being able to choose my own gaskets and bolts, so I don't feel like the price of the headers includes bolts and gaskets that I'm not going to use ANYWAY.

Stop crying about the MINIMAL fitment issues you're having and deal with it. Not everything is going to be perfect, especially on a 15 year old car. Meow. If you can't deal with it, buy a Prius.

/rant

Oh yeah, meow.

Yeah, you wanna use copper header gaskets anyway. Just about everything else will blow out, it's juat a matter of time.

Here we go again..........

I used to have the same mindset until I discovered you pay for quality. A set of kooks will outlast any other header and I almost garuntee flows better (other then a custom set). Pricing? Well its not so bad when you consider the product. Stainless, venturi collectors, ball flanges and a proven product.

I dont even want to hear how expensive Fbody Kooks products are, I just dropped $1700 on some Kooks 1 7/8ths and X pipe for my C5

My LPPs came with gaskets I didnt use. Also came with band clamps.
LPPs should last just as long as Kooks, and if you really think kooks fit any better just do a search. They have all the same probs LPPs do every car is different. The only thing I have against KOOKs is the price. I dont understand how they could cost more than double the price of LPPs. Its purely got to be the overhead. Wich right now LPP doest have. In the future LPPs might get up there in price but for now I say buy them while you can at this price. It wont last forever.

Is the price of the new batch LPPs supposed to be around the same as they were last time?

W/e they are, I've been holding back driving my car (because my 10 year old hookers are rotten and i have no exhaust hooked up to them) until the new LPP's come out, unless I can find a sweet deal on some used kooks

minor fit issues? i had to smash them big time on the pass side and they still hit. driverside had to be smashed a little. im not mad about the price there cheap just thought they would fit without the use of my SNAPON five pound hammer.lol did they test fit these headers or just draw them up behind a computer screen?F T W
