I'm curious what the latest on the LPP header game is. I haven't seen much posted about it on here or on LS1tech. That guy still making the stepped headers?

yes...I ordered a set direct from XS power earlier this year
They never sent me the right Y pipe so I let PayPal sort it out, got money back.

I had no issue sorting out the Y pipe....contacting the shipper and they sent a replacement and call tag for the wrong item
chopstix, have you installed yet? How do you like them?
installed them months ago...no complaints at all
Mine needed major bfh mod on passanger side from hitting on frame rail. Order them a year ago also
Dont like these, hit steering knuckle bad. Pacesetters have more clearance

Havent gotten my steering in yet, if it hits ill save up the money for kooks or just get some pacesetters again.
lol there bigger tube headers, of course there going to fit a bit tighter. I Used a BFH on my k member to knock down the lip and then I had to mod my steering shaft to fit (I still need to try out my ls shaft tho to see if it helps)
I didn't have to do any of that with my LPPs. They clear my stock steering shaft and fit fine.

Mine are nowhere near with a ls steering shaft
i bought them when they first started the second run... back when LPP was actually posting on the boards
The set I put on Marc's car did the same. I did the LS shaft and it was still tight enough for me to message the meaty part with a flap diskl, not much but still had to do it. It also lightly rested on the pinch weld of the K, death wheel took care of that. He has stock mounts as far as I know.Quote:

I opened a PayPal dispute and got money from the y back. I bought the y separately.Quote:

Catmaigne, how big of a pain in the ass was that process? did you have to send the wrong Y Pipe back to them or what?
Wasn't hard at all. The XS Power guy never responded to Paypal with return instructions so I got to keep the wrong Y they sent me and got my money back.
So ur purchase was from XS not @LPP ?
LTXtech.com IS my drug...

I dealt with both. I originally bought the headers from Carl at LPP without the Y because I intended on fabbing my own two 3" to one 4" Y (still do... will get to that eventually). I noticed a pretty big defect in the flange around one of the primaries that I thought was going to cause a leak so I emailed him and got no response. A little later I decided on buying one of their Y pipes separately to throw the car together and get it on the road with a generic 3" catback, messed up header flange or not. I email him again a few times saying I was interested in buying just Y separately asap and also got no response.
I thought I was being ignored so I want directly to the manufacturer (XS Power) and order a Y pipe from them. Instead of sending me the right part, they drop shipped a Pacesetter style ebay Y to my house and then argued with me for two weeks about how it was the right part depsite not even coming close to fitting. The XS Power guy eventually stopped responding so I opened a Paypal claim (that he also didn't respond to) and was refunded.
I know there were a couple other guys on FB and ls1tech that got screwed by either company. AFAIK they're drop shipping 304 stainless Speed Engineering Y pipes with their headers now instead of the proper 321 Kooks style.

I really had more respect for these outfits. Seem like they make their money and then lose interest.
mine was from LPP, but i haven't been able to get ahold of anybody on either side of the fenceQuote:
