$200 for stainless headers. I know you wanted SLP but as good as those look I wouldn't care if they were home built.

Where are the emissions tubes? Check out all the pics and tell me if you see any, I think they are at the top right?

If they are XS you got screwed pretty bad. They're used and the dude chopped the ends of the collectors off and welded on some what appears to be aluminized steel. And if you look close they do have EGR. The passenger side EGR tube broke in exactly the same place mine did, hopefully they welded it shut atleast. If they are XS headers, nice and shiny polished brand new they are $180. You should really try to get your money back.

They're good for the money but if I did it again today I would go with QTP'S.

Also the reason the welds look so nice is because they mig weld them, then grind it down and run tig on top which pretty much anyone regardless of how much skill they have can do.

I believe they are hedman headers for camaro and firebirds.look on page 11-r on Jegs catalog.it shows black painted and ceramic coated.they prolly came out with stainless by the look of the pics.I know they are not hookers for sure cause I have a pair sittin here that I got for free and got them coated locally and they don look like that and have a tag on them.

They arent XS (the e-bay pic). Theres a notch on the flange, XS do not have that notch. I know theres a few companies on e-bay now that bought out LPP's last supply of the emissions style.

Those are XS headers. you can tell because the section on a couple of primaries look as if they are stepped but they are not its just a short piece of pipe which I have only seen on XS headers.

sorry to hear dude. But I think you would have been upset with slp headers, my freind has them on his car and hates them he can hardly get over a small speed bump with out rubbing them all up. They have terrible ground clearance.

Yea I heard that about ground clearance but I've been happy with the quality of all the SLP things I have purchased. Now I have these things that I have no idea what they are.. I don't think I'm going to put them in my car hopefully this guy will respond to my emails and give me a refund.

i can almost guarantee that those are the XS,LPP or whatever the hell they are called. you can tell cus the long *** collector and the primaries that look stepped but it is more or less a short pipe that got welded in there as if someone tried to fix a dented primary it looks like. but thats the way they are built. I wouldnt run them.

Hey Personally I own these headers and I dont have any problems with them, everyone complains about ground clearence but, I dont have any problems with ground clearence. I think you would have been happy with them after you got them installed. The only complaint I had about them was they were a pita to put them in.
