Default LPP Headers Quality?? Who has them?

I just wanted to get an idea on quality of these, for the price they look great.
Speed Engineering used to have them on their site but now they are gone.
Are they having issues supplying them or something?
Thanks
Josh

I've got them and they rest up against my k-member and motor mount. They make the car shake pretty bad at idle. It's pretty annoying.

I just received my LPP's. They took exactly 14 days to get to my house. Kinda BS but what ever. Welds are decent(i inspect welds for a living). They tacked their LPP name plate with two nasty tack welds...kinda looks like ****. Otherwise i'm pretty happy with them and the ORY. They weld two sets of bungs (1) for the O2's in the header (2) for a Wideband. Only they don't send plugs for the rears if you aren't using a Wideband. Putting them in next weekend with some solid motor mounts. Let you know how it goes.

A bud of mine had the old style and now has the new. He said his hit when he tore his mounts up, but I helped him do some polys, and now they don't rub anything. Nice looking pieces, and a good price.

id rather not spend 900 on headers when a 500 pair of headers do THE EXACT SAME THING. i think its funny that you spent the extra 400 on a pair of headers so that you could say "yeah they are arh"

seriously op, if you have more money then brains, get the ARH, if not, i highly recommend lpp

Speed Engineering is out of stock and so is LPP. LPP said they have other things that are priority over getting these in may be a few months. RedBird98 had a set on here that were bolted up and heated once (used although he claims new) but won't respond to my e-mails about purchasing them or if he has them still. Looks like a great header although have recieved conflicting stories from LPP on whether they are American Made or China made.

I've emailed the comapny a few days ago with questions of my fitment problem and I haven't gotten anything back. Theres also no phone number, so if you have problems with these guys then good luck getting in contact with them anytime soon! Idk, As headers they work, I mean they're not bad looking and do add noticeable performance but I'm starting to get pissed with these guys.

They were fairly quick to respond via e-mail but slow on the phone. Best of luck!

I didn't know they were having so many problems lately. I ordered some a while back and just got around to installing them. The quality was amazing, and they slid right in.

I bought them, they didn't fit. They would not clear the motor mount on the driver's side. I then bought a set of ARHs and the difference in quality is night and day. I then returned the LPPs and got screwed for a $75 restocking fee for returning a part that didn't fit.

Like Youshallgofo said, good luck getting in touch with them as there is no phone number at all. All via email and you get one response a day.

If you actually had both sets of headers, I think your attitude would be different.

i have the lpp headers and ory with stock motor mounts. they BARELY touch the k member. every once in a while u will feel an almost unnoticeable vibration. they slid in really easy and cleared the motor mounts fine. they've been on for about 6k and they arent rusty at all. i recieved them in about 5 days and i would reccomend to anyone. but i have not had to contact them for problems or anything so i dont know about customer service.
