If that's a stainless Y-pipe for the ebay/LPP headers, I have a brand new y-pipe for LPP's that's leftover if you want to mock it up first and see if it'll fit (with the addition of reducers of course).

edit: Just looked up the full ad, that's almost exactly what I have. If you can use it it's yours. It's just collecting dust and it's not really worth much.

What are you looking to get for it?

Not really lol, my manager frowns apon it lol. He usually doesn't mind if we pay for the products though. Yeah I'll be repainting it there this summer. As soon as I get it running I'll be taking it in.

man your K-member/control arms look about as bad as mine.Rusty as hell. Motor looks great though. Couple of questions (I've read you're ENTIRE build btw), What is this POR 15 every one keeps recommending? Just a good paint or like a sealer or what? Because I really need some if it helps lol.
Next, Those exact headers are on Ebay for 385.00 right now, with out shipping. How did you get them for 335 with shipping? Will an ORY fit up to those? Because it looks like you're gonna need some serious fabbing to make it work. I know they are nice and Stainless and all, but it might be worth it for me getting the pacesetters with their aftermarket ORY that's all direct bolt in, I bet you'd come out cheaper after all the fabbing of the exhaust you'll need.. but I could be wrong.
Last, how quickly do painted headers rust through? I don't care about shiny or pretty, just don't want any holes. Anybody have any painted headers that lasted less than a couple years???
I'm doing full exhaust this spring, which is why I'm curious about all this. Great job on the motor thus far, wish mine looked as good as yours does. And I wanted that dashpad you bought BAD!

For starters, thanks for checking out the thread!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but por 15 is a undercoating, I have heard good things and bad things about it, I haven't personally used it.

I believe the website for the headers was ssaccessories.con. IMO, if you have some time to spend on installing these I would get them. The reason I got them was because my motor was out, if I needed to grind the k member or clearance anything it would be much easier. If my motor wasnt out would I get these? Probably not. Again, IMO pacesetter painted lts are junk, they fit great but they will litterly start to surface rust in matter of a month, I bet they wont actually blow a hole through in many many years.

I'm getting an lpp ORY this weekend and I'll have to see how much modifying it will need. I know the primarys are 3.5" on these lts and the typical ORY is 3".

All in all in the end I do think it will be cheaper, I bought these headers expecting to have figment issues.

The dash went to a good home lol
