As I said the ebays look to be LPP gen 1 knockoffs. The gen 2 LPPs have some tweaking to fit beetter than gen 1s. Mine fit great as do most everyone elses. Id rather pay a little more for the LPPs that fit like a glove than have to clearance my headers/k member/steering knuckle

LOL, back then if you had a car that needed long tubes on it that was a bad son of a gun. That was kind of race car-ish back then. Most modified LT1s were running shorties and a couple of the heavy hitter street cars had those Arizona Speed and Marines. Now just about every modded LT1s have long tubes on them of some sort.

I remember back when I first bought my car in 1999, the hotcam kit was pretty new and the hot set-up (I had it), shorty headers were the norm and longtubes were for really bad-*** LT1s. Mid 13s was normal for bolt-on cars, mid 12s was normal for heads/cam cars, and if you ran 11s or faster you were king. Most of the fast LT1 cars were 6-speeds, cause no one with auto LT1s had anything bigger than a 2800 stall, anything bigger was for "race cars" Man those were the days, how times have changed

Very expensive. Then Hooker came out and seemed like everybody wanted to run them. I stayed somewhat emissions legal and went with SLP dual cat shorties. For 1.75" they fit very nicely and don't look like the AS&M mess.
The old days...

Yep. I did the HOT cam in 98 and struggled because nobody did tuning for OBDII. I was a Hypertech beta tester and still didn't get it to work.

Looks like the 3rd pic tells the story on why you have to loosen/move the steering outboard on the Ebay headers so frequently. If they could get the #1 primary a little closer to the flange, it might be a perfect fit on both sides...
If I get another 4th gen (need a Camaro!) I'll try some of these. Jet Hot's NC facility is only about 40 minutes away, so whoever voiced the idea of having them JH coated, it's a good one.
