Yeah they looked stepped too even though they don't say anything about them being so. The gaskets are even the same. The only difference I see is that these are made from 304 stainless instead of 321 like my LPP's are. Spence I know what you mean about the Y pipe I got one with my LPP's but it doesn't look like I'll ever use mine. I'll hang on to it though just in case.

I have them. I got them from "PitStopTuning" though, but same supplier. They are stepped, good thick polished stainless, good welds...overall great set for the money...$440 shipped!? That's pretty damn good if you ask me for long tubes, the ORY, and hardware and clamps. I will tell you this though, they have to be fitted and probably a bit more than the LPP's. You probably need mroe patience and tooling/welders/cutting equipment for grinding etc. in some cases with these as the standards for specs are probably not as strict between sets like they are for LPP I'm sure. I had to do some work to get them in there, but overall, a couple slow paced days messing and tinkering wasn't too bad for what all had to be done.
I had to grind the steering knuckle some, the K-member, and cut a pie slice out of the ORY in a spot to bring the angle in some to get it away from my body some...probably didn't have to, but I am **** about fitment/rubbing/how it looks. It all was not bad, but tooka bit of time for each thing. I also later replaced my motor mounts and that helped some, so if you need to replace them, that would be the time. Also, do yourself a favor and remove the coolant temp. sensor off the drivers side and the oil press. sensor off the oil filter housing if it is down there on your application so you don't break off the sensors during installation like my dumb ***. Also, I had to remove the oil cooler that was on the oil filter housing...some cars may or may not have this...but it had to come off for the oil filter to go back on.
This all sounds like a lot, and it is, but all LTs are a pain and take time, these are great for the $350+ I saved on them from other stainless suppliers.
