Wow, the ground clearance looks awesome.

I may look into these a little more.

I'm surprised the collectors are the lowest point of the exhaust. At least the pictures would have to believe that. The y-pipe must tuck up there pretty nice.

Good choice, I have the old set and they still were good for the money. The new set looks even better.

These are well worth it. Just finished my install yesterday. The headers slipped up there easily.. didn't have to take anything off of either side.

i just dont get how some people have absolutely no problems installing these things and others have HUGE problems (ds collector angle, hitting of k-member). since i assume the headers are all made from the same mold and virtually identical, that means it's the fbody cars themselves that account for the differences? it also seems to me that firebirds have less problems with them than camaros, but that's just my informal survey.

Well rayvendawn I'm glad everything went really well for you.
And to answer some questions for everyone
Yes rayvendawn got the first off of the newly designed Y.
She also got the first off of the new LPP headers.
No there is no more XS headers and Y that's why she got the first offs of our new products.
She placed her order after the XS headers and y were sold out so I sent her the first offs of the new design.
As you can see from her own testimony and her pictures the drivers side collector angle has been corrected and the Y is made to tuck up even better than before.
I did have some more fine tunning made to the setup and I'm now waiting for the 2nd off of the new setup which I should have really soon.
Once I make sure the next setup is Ok then I will be having them put into production and should have them in a month or so after that.

Thanks to all that are patiently waiting on the new setup.

And rayvendawn I do wish you would have posted this as LPP headers
