Lpp stoped selling them, or as his site says Out Of Stock. I don't know that he ever made them in the first place since all of the ones I have ever seen had ss auto crome tags all over them including mine which have been more trouble than their worth.
Ebay headers look very similar to the LPP's and several guys have bought them and said they were good.
Here are My problems and good read to know what to look for and at so you don't have any problems. It has been re welded 3 times now and it is currently holding.....for now.

My ebay knockoffs have been good to me since the install... They do look like they have abit of rust on them but its just the salt off the road burning on them. for $300 and a hammer, they worked out quite well...

I have LPPs, and my brother in law has the ebays. I have pics of them side by side before they were installed, they're on my laptop though, and I'm posting from my cell phone right now. I'll post up the pics tomorrow so you all can see the differences.

Looks like I found ones identical to the LPP's...

Can anyone see ANY differences?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1993-...item56428058e1

ebay speeddaddy / epartsgogo, etc.


LPP



Only thing that may be different is the site "says" they are 2.75 collector... and LPP says theirs are 3".

Sure look the like the same ******* thing to me though

So whats the verdict LPP owners.

Are these LPP's or not?

I know I'll probably damn well be ordering a set. Seeing as how the 1 7/8 options out there are limited and these are ******* CHEAEEEEAAPPPP, and identical, as far as I can tell, to the old school LPP's that everyone loved.

LPPs ARE eBay knock-offs and vice versa (I managed to get one of the first sets of the REAL LPPs before they migrated to eBay). They're all made on the same jig.
