I was asking LT1>LS1 if he was running the LPP headers. Obviously, you're running them.

Does your car have the factory oil cooler? If so, it will have to be removed for an oil filter to fit in the stock location.

do you have ur oil cooler hooked up? if so u need to delete it and replace the bolts and u could just use a ac delco filter works perfect there is no need for a relocation kit. you should call or email carl. man i don't understand y urs wouldn't fit. their is plenty of room on my car when i removed the oil cooler w/ my LPP's.

If the PF454 won't fit, and you don't have an oil cooler, maybe there is something up with the header. If you're planning to relocate the oil filter, it may not matter. I would do a search and see if people have experienced this issue with Kooks stepped headers. Personally, I've never heard of anyone having an issue. How much room do you have between the block and the header? Are you positive you don't have an oil cooler?
