Default Header Headache?

Own a 2002 SS Convertible with A4......
Looking over the dozens of LT header choices online, only one brand, SLP notes their header won't fit a 01-02 Convertible+A4.... is this because SLP's header is different ..... or because the other makers haven't figured ou that a Conv+A4 is slightly different?
Has anyone installed a LT on a 01-02 Conv+A4, what type please?

They are other companies out there to choose from, suggest going with one that makes direct fit headers.

The SLP headers have a WAYYYYYY different design. Go find a picture of them, then a picture of Pacesetter/Hooker/Etc. You will notice that the SLP's have all these kinks and bends that the others don't have. Although I've never done SLP's install, I'd imagine that this is what makes it a pain to install them!
