Default LPP or QTP headers?

LPP - $475 QTP - $750 Both have their good sides but does anyone know if its any cases such as "overpriced" or "you get what you pay for"? i want a great quality header that will have no fitment issues and will sound and perform the best.

I don't have experience with either of those brands but I know alot of people that love their QTP headers. On my first camaro I had Pacesetter LT's and they fit ok and took a little more work to put in than my American Racing headers I had on my trans am. They fit like a glove so in my opinion you get what you pay for.

I've had both versions of the LPP headers, they are really good quality, and they fixed the collector angle on the drivers side from their first edition. I would just go with them, and use that $300 for some other mods

I can't post in the classifieds yet because my account is too new, but I have 2 sets of headers for sale here near KCMO locally:

Jet Hot 1-3/4: http://kansascity.craigslist.org/pts/1960065420.html

Edelbrock Step Header: http://kansascity.craigslist.org/pts/1960069653.html

They are both new not bolted on, Ill work with you to help you save some bucks. Especially if you want a step header like the qtp headers.

I would go with the LPP's. Much cheaper, should be no power difference.

I have QTP's and they are a very high quality header. You get what you pay for in this hobby.

I have LPP headers and catted Y. I had a little fitment issue with the k member and the drivers side rests on the motor mount. The slip fit flanges leak also. I like mine for now, should have gotten better ones. I would go arh if I did it again. I put the numbers in my sig, not too shabby.

I bought a set of QTP's about 2 years ago. I had problems from the get go with them. I had huge exhaust leaks at the hvmc's on both sides. After talking to a known sponsor this is a very common problem with them. I just swapped mine out for a set ok Kooks. I would urge you to buy anything but QTP! They would not help me at all.

QTP's been getting some rough reviews lately, both CS and QC. ARHs and Kooks are roughly the same price, are both built great, and customer service seems good for both.
