I believe they were out of NC and recently started making headers for the 4th gen. I saw them mentioned on here months ago but now I can't remember the name of the company and searching yields me nothing.

I know Kooks is based out of NC but they've been making headers for a while...

Maybe it was an older company that came out with a new product. i don't remember but the name was unfamiliar to me at the time and I'm pretty sure I would have recognized the Kooks name.

I think stainless works is the only company that has recently started making headers for our old LT1s

I think this is the thread I was thinking of. Although they're out of CA, I don't why I was thinking NC.

Any one have any experience with these headers other than what was posted in that thread?

LPP headers have stepped primaries, huge collectors, and are made out of 321 stainless. They're the middle ground between cheaper headers (304 stainless) and Kooks (321). OBX (304) is a step down from LPP. Under that there's the Speed Engineering or eBay headers. They aren't stepped, their collectors are 3", and they're all made from 304. Probably just rebranded "speeddaddy" headers or the like.
