    Oh nice. Im going to be purchasing headers soon and Ive really liked the look and quality of the LPPs, the only thing Im worried about is them rusting because I live in Connecticut and we get snow, now I dont really drive in the snow since my truck is 2wd but I do drive it occasionally in the winter. I know alot of people say stainless wont rust but I have a stainless exhaust on another truck of mine thats been on for a little over a year and its starting to rust not like flakey rust but just brown ugly surface rust. Now Im not totally sure if it matters on the grade of stainless or anything, maybe someone could chime in on that?

    I thought x-pipes scavange exhaust better, reducing back pressure. Maybe a good old fashioned h-pipe will do it.

    All the cheaper headers on ebay are made from 304SS. The LPP's are made from 321SS. A little more rust resistant and does better when you weld on it. The welds are not supposed to oxidize as easy as 304.

    I believe the LPP's have 1 7/8" primaries...

    those LT's are definitly interesting at that price. It says no EGR. what does that consist of as far as removing the EGR?
