Default Never heard of these LT's.....

what you guys think about these? i might have to test them out.....being 1 5/8th's though, i hear they won't work too well compared to the 1 3/4th's would with a cam swap which i plan after these, can anyone explain that???

Good deal? or pass and go LPP and get the 1 3/4th's? They are stainless and have cats, flanges and band clamps though!!!

The 1 5/8 primaries are be plenty for a 5.3L with a cam/boltons. They'll be much better for lowend torque too which is nice.

they've got my interest. Besides some Thorley Tri-Y's (which are $$), there seems to be a lack of quality 1-5/8ths headers. Hookers seem to get mixed reviews, though we've never had issue with the ones we put on the '66 truck so far...

Look how far back the drivers side crosses over (maybe a foot). The primaries also look longer than average and I like the resonators. Wonder what size the midpipe and collectors are. They have a lot less bends then the obx tubing. If they went a 1 3/4 primary I would say winner but I like them so far.

Those do look good. Wish there was someone with a review.
