LPP out of business? Got my per diem and overtime checks and was gonna pick up some LPP long tubes for my 96TA. But their website is down like they didn't pay the domain bill or whatever.
or are they closing up shop?
i wanted some stainless long tubes and didn't want to get the Chinese ebay crap.
what's the best header for 500$?
best being fitment and quality mfg.

They are expensive, but I can't say enough good about Kooks Headers. Last set of headers you will ever need.

Hearing from others, if you call up Maryland Speed, to order them, they will discount them a little bit from the website price. I ordered mine from the website and did pay full price(didn't know about calling them up).

Afaik, they are exactly the same and always have been. They were having issues with getting their own Y pipes a few months back and were drop shipping ebay pacesetter and speed engineering Ys. Carl Lamonte at LPP and Fatimah Abdul Whatshisface at XS Power sell the same crap. SSautochrome is just a branch of XS.

Ace I read your review thread, I ran over a dead deer the same way with my car, on 287 in Jersey, the next 2 hours of my ride all I smelled was burning venison. Got home and pulled a chunk of fleshy hair off my pacesetter collectors and there's still a flesh burn stain on them 8 years later.

I have Kooks on my Firehawk but I have my Lpp's still in the box...they are really nice headers I think Carl got overwhelmed with other stuff and could not keep up. From what I remember this was a side deal for him and not his main source of income.

I think I'll just go with some Hookers. those are still made in America, right?
i can't justify spending 1200$ on exhaust right now. the car cost 2500$ 😂
they're nice for sure, but you don't see them much in the engine bay, and don't really offer that much performance over hooker or Hedman, from what I've read. i don't know, that's a big bullet to bite.
if i was going to go all out, it would be with an LSx setup, then i could imagine splurging on exhaust. but maybe not even then. i don't care for show. it's function over form for me.
so, i think for around 500$,the hooker super comps are hard to beat. unless y'all have some better suggestions. 600$ is max i want to spend on headers. no cats, and i want a quiet Muffler.

It is a really big number for sure....can't argue with that as it was painful on my wallet. However, since I plan on owning this thing till I drop over, the investment made sense...that and having no exhaust to put on the car after one critical mod that had to get done(oil control issues).
What forced me to make the purchase was a change to a kickout oil pan. Stock exhaust would not work. I've read of stories about grinding K members and other fitment issues with many long tube brands over they years, but Kooks reviews always came back glowing. Sure enough, they lived up to the reputation.
Merry Christmas one and all.

So i ended snagging some Dougs long tubes with the black hi temp coating. We're 40$ cheaper than the uncoated version, so i went for it. Just order today, so will post back when i get them.
they're made in Mexico, just like hookers apparently, but that's better than China. Was gonna try the Hedman because they're still usa made, but about 120$ or so moreand 1-5/8" instead of 1-3/4". The dougs should suffice for now.
when i get ready to drop some real money, will probably get a BBC or LSx. But that bridge is a long ways away.
what about a Muffler? I was planning on using a standard walker quiet flow or whatever is called. I don't want it loud, this will be a daily driver, and loud exhaust gets annoying in traffic.
any suggestions better than walker?

they were good quality not perfect. i had the gen1 lpps with my 355 lt1. with 3" cats and borla adjustable exhaust it sounded awesome. You know it sounds good when some guys on harley's at a light tells you 'man that sounds good' 
sadly the ls1 sounds like an outboard...
