did i get the wrong jet hots?

Alright, my jet hot lt's came in today and i am looking at the top of the tubes that bolt onto the heads and i know that the exhaust ports on lt1 heads are shaped like a D and the header ports that i got are oval shaped... It looks exactly like every other lt1 long tube ive seen... The gaskets that came with the headers dont match up either.. Its Exactly like the d shape only on the bottom where some peoples are flat its got another d shape imagine this DD only the flat sides put together thats what the ports look like.. is that right?

Yup.. thats right.

LT1 heads have D-port shape.. and my Jet-Hots were oval, as with my gasket (Mr. Gasket)

You'll be fine.

Mine from the very first batch are round (oval) ports.

Are you sure you've seen D shaped Jet Hot brand LTs? Maybe they were just jethot coated???

Yep. Don't understand why anyone got ovals. I ordered mine directly from jet-hot.
