I have had them on my truck for about 2.5yrs now, and for the comment about the Cheep chinese stainless.... Call it what you want but mine are not rusted, they are golden in color ( as all stainless gets with enough heat) but not rusted and never had a leak. knock on wood

 

+1, don't want to beat on ya man, but John is right, LPP and OBX are definitely not one and the same. They *may* be manufactured in the same country (not verified for LPP but assumed), but they are not the same product. If you line the headers up side by side they even look different.

 

those headers he linked appear to be OBX copies of the Pacesetter headers. I've never seen those before.

 

Ohh and to the opp, I didn't mean to sound like a dick, but what you stated wasn't correct..

 

and how many different forms of these headers do you think are made in china? when i received my lpp y you could see where the rectangle obx name plate was broke off and the oval lpp name plate was welded on. lpp is rebadged obx. the plate i took off the headers lined right up into the 4 little tack welds let when it was rebadged. no question in my book.

 

one more thing what does this mean?

 

Well I wouldn't just assume that they're the same...as I mentioned it would be nice to line them up side by side and see. From the pics I've seen of both they most definitely are not the same product, but I'm not 100% sure either. Unless you definitely know, I wouldn't post it as fact

 

From the emails i have recieved from LPP they are made here rather than overseas...and i agree, line them up next to eachother and you can tell the difference between the OBX and the LPP headers...as for the y-pipe, who cares...its a y-pipe. AND to make it completely correct, LPP laser cuts or stamps their logo into their y-pipe, it isnt a welded on badge like the OBX's. Check out their site or pictures from members who have ordered them directly from the company and see for yourself how they put their logo on their y-pipe. Should be right at the end where it merges into one pipe right next to the flange.

Ill be ordering the LPPs as soon as i get my tax return, to me they just appear to be a good product and the customer service that i have recieved from them so far without even buying anything has been really good.

 

i know its not the same angle of both but look closely

obx


lpp

 

They sure "look" the same, and I'd be confident betting someone LPP's are also made somewhere other than in the USA...not that it means anything anymore...

Has anyone found (listings for) the OBX/EBAY headers that I started this thread about?

I'm referring to the Ebay stainless that copied the OBX, that copied the Dynatechs...that don't look anything like the "OBX" headers linked above.
