lt headers are a bitch lol

Do you have a manual or an automatic? How was the fitment of Pypes' h-pipe? I've heard negative things about the fitment of their h, like they don't line up properly, and the O2 sensors hang down.

I bought the first generation pypes lts. I knew there would be issues with them because they where a first run part. The steering shaft ujoint rubbed a little on the primary. Nothing a little filing down with my dremel couldnt handle.

for the 290 I paid for them, ill take having to file an 1/32 of an inch off. They work just fine.

MAC headers are a really nice fit but the header bolts are a mother****er to get in there. Its always you get what you pay for. But for the money its deff best bang for the buck.

i said the same thing before i installed my mac chrome lt's. then i started the car with them on and heard cracking.... the chrome peals off with in the first few minutes...

honestly, i would scrap them down and repaint them with some header paint. i wish i did before in started.

but besides the cheap chrome, they fit fine and sound great.
