Default Hows the Fit of LPP Headers?

My truck is a 2wd GMC Sierra RCLB. The LPP's look pretty good for the price and for being stainless.

Do they fit good? Any problems with leaks?

I have my reasons for selling them...no cats for one and really could find any small enough to fit with a 3" diameter. Two, I could put more money into my weekend truck or wife's G8 GT. Three...I put the stock y-pipe back on and got their shorty headers instead and I am much happier to tone down the exhaust levels a bit and get rid of some of the header tick in my daily driver.

But they fit well? What's your overall opinion of the headers?

Yes...they fit well. Opinion of the header was top notch; however, as I stated on ls1truck.com...the u-bolt clamps make it a little cheap in the assembly process and will leak so go ahead and get you some good band clamps from your local NAPA store.

yeah band clamps would be much better. What truck did you put them on? Any problem with leaks where the headers meet the heads?

Good to know, I think I'm going to try to scrape together some money and buy me a set soon.
