LPP Vendor Question

[SSlowBoat]

My tags look similar to that except they were welded on the sides of each tube, not the top.
There is also one on the side of my y-pipe.

Tags are on sides of these as well. I thought in Lpp thread on this site when he came back out with these headers he explained they were made in USA by xs power

I don't know. I'm over it at this point. He's not rational or civil enough to listen to a buyer concern as a business owner. There is no chance of exchange, refund, price difference reimbursement or anything else since he will not respond to any email I've sent since receiving these headers. After a lot of researching on the internet, I've found this issue apparently has been debated and brought to his attention before with people concerned about what they bought, to his customer service, to order delays, etc. I've also found that he's even been speculated to join other forums under another screen name posing as a customer to push his own product by claiming he's just a buyer and one member PM'd and said that he was supposedly banned on another forum. Who's to say what's what at this point or what's true or not at this point, certainly not me. Ive drawn my own opinion and conclusion. Do your own searches and judge for yourself.

I think we need an new " Ultimate stainless header" thread trying to explain what is what with regards to tube diameter, flange, collector, merge spike with ssautochrome, LPP, XS power, Kooks, OBX, abay sellers, TSP, pacesetter...etc.

a lot seem to be the same sold under different banners.

[Darkknight039]

As far as Kooks and Stainless Works, is it really justifiable that a set of stainless headers to cost that much? Or is it really just paying for a name?

Some think you get what you pay for so if you spend $1500 on headers you get the best of the monetary worth.

Others say while they may be the best, they are way overpriced because of the name.

My guess is that Kooks and other name brand headers cost more because they are the companies that actually do the R&D and make them in America with American product. Other companies buy their product and have it copied and mass produced overseas.

Kooks are made from 304 IIRC

I just can't get my head around teh XS power tag being on a product thats made in teh USA, why would you even have their tags?

That question was answered already. I will again tell you. Years ago - XS made items for companies such as DTS and Comptech that for example went out of business. From what they told me this expense of boxes and tags for so many companies was in their mind not such a good idea and it was better to brand the headers with their badge and have us as sellers sell the headers as exclusive or group buys. You might see it on their site but from what I have been told orders wont be filled as they protect their vendors.
And, again, the headers are made in USA. And again they are made in GA, ( by a company licensed by XSPOWER ) thats what I know. XSPOWER makes headers in the USA and Overseas so that is what you can WRAP your head around.

I am here, I listen to you. What do you want to exchange? XS power does not make what you said they make. They make 321 headers for the LT1 application.
Now you are saying I am a scammer as well - people on this forum and other forums know I am not- and I will not respond to your baseless allegations.
I do not have ship delays and there is no truth to this JOIN OTHER FORUMS under diffferent user names. This makes me think you are a setup more than ever now!
As I said before, JBA , Kooks, ARH , Xspower have all had worms try to thwart sales by posing as end users and then posting erroneous information about that company.
You never know.

and we did not do that.
I personally worked with XS to get these correct. I did my own R&D with XS on my own car I have hundreds of pics and we did multiple revisions to make it the best for the community.
Additionaly Kooks from what I have heard at Sema- papa kooks drives Lexus and BMW and guess what I drive- and I know what Henry at XS drives and its not Import.

The tags get placed in various locations. The items are made in the USA for LT1 and LS1 - The pic above is from last years version - this year the tag location was moved
ssautchrorme and xspower are sister companies to answer your question daw daw.
Notice how mickey4play says MY LPP HEADERS and they have XSPOWER tag - do you see it now ?
I have explained this now for 2 days.
