They don't look terrible, but I'd probably just save a little more and get the LPPs. They are stepped, better grade of material, and probably a smaller company. I'd rather support the little guys if you know what I mean.

I have personally thought about the ebay stepped stainless headers though

Hey:

Its over 100 pages, here you go, https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-m...headers-y.html

Have fun reading they are just going into production SOON, for the new batch per last page, they will probally cost a little more than the ebay Kooks knock offs.
But are supposely going to be a very good fit with little or no mods to your car needed. For Stepped LT1 long tubes thats a big deal.

I'm the one that has them and yes, they are nice. They fit perfectly, but I did motor mounts at the same time to help. If you want a nice set of headers, don't hesitate to pick them up. I have no issues with them at all, no rust etc... and I scrape them sometimes with the car being lowered.

spudnick's thread actually convinced me to go ahead and give em a try, plus, these have the emissions fittings while some other brands didn't. I just got them today. I ended up getting them for $350 shipped. How are your wires holding up spudnick?

Any noticeable gains vs other headers?
How do they sound?
Interested and looking for a cheap set of headers for an LT1, that's pretty cheap when you think of Pacesetter with a Y pipe and shipping it's probably about $500 or so.

My wires (MSDs) are holding up fine. Don't be afraid to use a bunch of zip ties to keep them away from the primaries. None are anywhere close to touching the headers.

I can't tell how they compare to other headers power wise, but I'm sure they are all comparable. As for sound, it sounds amazing with the cats & GMMG. I have two videos up on youtube and also linked in my original thread, but they don't do the car justice. The car just sounds so much meaner with longtubes compared to just a catback.

My vids are here:

madmike9396, I got them from the company posted in your link. eworldsales1 is the seller's full name.

Next time I'm under the car, I'll remember to take some pictures of how they are holding up. I have 7k on them so far.
