Bad lpp header virbration please help
Bad lpp header virbration please help So i have a bad vibration coming from the driver side i have had my headers on for about 1 month and it has been getin worse i cant firgure out were it is coming from i put on the bump stop that came with the headers and that stoped the y pipe from hiting the floor but it sounds like the header is hiting somthing i thought it may be the cross member so i took off the header and grinded it down so i dont think its hiting that. i heard people say that poly mounts will help and im not sure how? it looks like the header is hiting the motor mount on the cross http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/..._id=1761member i was wondering if these would help

are you cammed?
my lpp's vibe badly with my cam, and did slightly when stock.
if you used the y pipe bracket that came with the ORY then thats where your vibration is. its being transmitted through the y pipe and into the floor. if you remove that it will most likely go away. and also poly mounts would probably help.

Yeah, my driver side header is hitting a mount. it is damn annoying... I'm currently exploring easy and inexpensive solutions. I really just need to find an adequate non-metal that is heat resistant, something that will absorb the vibrations.
One of the primaries on my driver side was resting on the clamshell of the motor mount. I was able to flatten the primary enough with a torch and prybar to stop it from vibrating.
^What he said.
Plus re-adjusting it can help too. Also what the other guy said about unbolting that thing on the y-pipe, for me it made the vibration worse not better so I unbolted and re-adjusted/dimpled the primary and all vibrations went away.

Verdad Gallardo I guess it's all in what you find acceptable. I happily returned my LPPs when they didn't fit and will recommend others do the same. I consider it a blessing as my ARHs are awesome.
mine slid in like a dream and are at least a half inch away from any of the typical "my headers touch hear points".
if your fancy fandangled ARH headers had a y pipe mount similar to the LPPs the same vibes i have been feeling from my car would be felt in your car.
yeah i agree ARH headers are a better quality product but I'd feel a lot better about myself buying 2 sets of LPP's for 1200 dollars and giving a free set to my buddy than taking it up the *** for 1200 just to get myself a set of ARH's
to each his own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love my 600 dollar headers and their 1 minor issue. you love your 1200 dollar "perfect" headers.
I don't know where you're buying your ARHs at, but I suppose I might like some $1200 headers. I feel whole lot more comfortable putting my reputation on the line recommending a set of headers that I know are built in such a way that will fit. If it was just myself that had a problem with them, it'd be one thing. But, there are numerous others, including friends of mine, who have had the exact same issue.
On an aside, I bought the LPPs to replace my Pacesetters. So, I understand buying a budget header. You may be missing the part where I did buy the LPPs in hopes that they were as nice as people like yourself claimed them to be. I found out otherwise and I will share my experience with anyone else that is considering them as I don't want other to have to face the same sort of hassle that I did.

it really is too bad that they are inconsistent. i wonder if the headers themselves are different or if its minor variances from car to car.
