I wasn't happy with my set, which were the first release. Major difference in port sizes between left and right header - looked as if one side had been ported by an experienced guy (almost perfect to their gaskets they provided), and the other side was finished by a kid. Also, one side (can't remember which, I think the opposite of the side with the poor port job) had the merge spike welded clearly off center. It was so far off they were only able to weld it on 3 sides (because it overlapped the primaries on the 4th side).
The knuckle on the steering shaft gets caught up on the primary during slow turns. We took a bit off the knuckle vs relocating the entire column over. I can live with it.
They work. They leak, but they work. Cost $550 if I remember. I've had to replace one of their unique shaped header gaskets already with a standard fel pro one.
I'm aware that a lot of my complaints are typical of any header unit & install. I just didn't like the way customer service from THE one guy who ran the show died once I specifically started asking him why there were such differences between my left and right side headers. I only wish the LLP header install thread still existed. There was so much info and data in there, and personal experiences.

You wont find it cause the admins decided there was too much marketing in it from LPP wright or wrong and yes that was one massive thread with tons of good information in it.
I know I posted lots of useful tips and tricks with photos to address some of the fitment issues but now I have forgotten most of it. I still am using the gen1 headers today and they have very much gone the distance but its just a damn shame that the old thread was murdered off.

That is exactly what he is doing! That is why the test sets are out there...if there are any issues, he is going to modify the jigs, then begin production. He makes groups of 100 at a time. That is why this poll was started, because he does not want to do a production run if they are not going to sell...these are much better quality than the Ebay headers...trust me.

I'm bringing this thread back from the dead to see if there are any updates on this company and their new headers. I'm looking to do long tubes for my LT1 soon and most people seem to have good things to say about this company and the price is right compared to kooks and some of the others. Any insight?

My buddy just got his in, welds look good and look nice but... When his came in the one primary was kinked, o2 sensor bung for driver side was facing up, passanger was facing towards the outside of the car. And its not like they flipped the collector wrong the o2 bungs werent even in the same spot on the collector.
