LT1 Jet Hot Headers
 
Anyone here ever use Jet-Hot brand longtubes on a LT1? Im bouncing back and forth between those, eBay stainless and LPP's. Pending the sale of my jimmy i could afford either ones. Not only am i looking for better lasting and performance but I am also concerned with fitment. I know any longtube install on a LT1 is gonna be a PITA but id like to avoid moving BFH modding, K-Member grinding, steering linkage movement, etc.

Any advice would be awesome thanks.

I ran them for 6 years. I had to grind the snot out of the transmission cross member and actually ended up cutting some of it away. Not to mention the y-pipe didn't fit too well (I had to bash that also). The 3-bolt flanges sucked too, sucking up ground clearance.

Since then I've upgraded to the LPPs and they literally dropped right in with no problems. :)

Did you use the first batch or the "new" batch that he talks about on his site?

I love having Mid length. No issues with rubbing or fitting and they make pretty good power. Pretty much everybody I know who has a set of longtubes has to modify something to get them to fit or they hit and rub on something under the car.
