Default Question on these headers

Bought some stainless headers from a member he "says" they are LPP's but just think they are ebay headers any way i can differ them? everyone says they are one of the same so idk

another this in the O2 bung on one of them is at 12 O'clock on the collector no issues with O2's not fitting with these right? just a weird design I thought

picked them up pretty cheap so even if they arn't LPP's its no big deal just wondering

Someone put up a photo comparison of LPP vs. ebay. Dig that up to figure out what you have if you want. The differences were minute.

Several runs of LPP's have "SSAUTOCHROME" badges on them, otherwise there IS no difference from many of the ebay headers.

dont worry about it, if theyre stainless headers and they work, run em.

for sure you can always clean up stainless. some elbow grease and it will look good.
i was picturing the bung after the merge of the primarys. like they should be. but now i see how they fit.
not being a dick dont take me the wrong way.....if you got a good deal on them im sure theyll be worth the trouble.the dents in the primarys to flange would **** me off, along with the bung......but if they work f'it right?lol the car will sound good and run better

near the flanges is like that even on my LPPs, its to give clearance for the bolts, and the bung on the driver side header is actually good placement, allows you to run the o2 sensor plug down without an ext. now if you need an o2 ext for the passenger side i do have a spare

That looks like a horrible location for an 02.. Fitment wise good but as far as actual metering..

^^ From what I understand yes. Also, LPPs are 321 stainless, and fake one's are 304 correct? So, a magnet shouldn't stick to real LPPs.

That looks identical to my eBay speed daddy's. I left the plug in and used the o2 in the y pipe. Had the rear o2 sensors tuned out since I am cat less.


The dents in primaries are very helpful.
