Got these on my dads 06 5.3.. took longer to take the stock stuff off than to put these on.. They went on great, fit great, sound great, but turned to a goldish color. But for 300 bucks ya cant go wrong in my opinion. and they are 1.75 tubes

I got a message from LPP a week ago and he told me that the headers should be back up for sale in about 30 days. So I'm guessing they should have them in 3 weeks or so.

I think LPPs are better than pacesetters.....LPPs are stainless and a couple bucks cheaper.

I've bought a couple of LPP headers and I thought they'd be pretty crappy since they're so cheap but they aren't all that bad. You'll need band clamps though.
