I don't think they are available for the lt1's yet. They sound like they're going to be great headers though, but with a great price tag also in the $1,200-1,500 range I believe.

Has anybody used their suspension products or brake duct cooling kit? At $125 for a billet adjustable panhard rod with double rod ends I'm intrigued...

good luck trying to get the PPC longtubes for the lty1. I gave gordon a deposit back in febuary. He just now told me that they arent gonna make them anymore as of now and he refunded my money...

Question

No special collectors (merge or volume)
No step tubing
Nothing really special about them.

So why pay a grand for a set of Hooker-feature headers when you can save and just get Hooker/Pacesetter/Jet-Hots in the first place?

Maybe why they decided not to make it...

That is weird though, they claim to produce race-quality parts at a much lower price than big-name companies, yet they were planning on basically charging double for a set of Hooker LTs.

That's basically why I was asking the above questions. They need to show me why to buy there product over the jet hots/hooker. I guess that's why they decided not to sell them.

I just got this tonight

Darren,

I am in the middle of a restructure of PPC at this time. The LT1 headers have been completed, but the rest of the system has yet to be prototyped (y-pipe assembly and the remainder of the parts).

We should be ready to continue the set-up on the LT1 systems within a month.

But the thing is if they are not going to have bigger primarys or flow any better than the LT's we have available, why spend $1200-$1500 for them.

after recieving my refund from gordon, I ordered a set of jet hot lt's with emmission fittings that same day. I am getting them installed at Mufflex and am gonna use their y pipe. They said they can put cats in the y pipe for me if i want them...Seriously I wouldnt wait around for the PPC's...Remember I gave him a deposit in Febuary and they were supposed to be done in early sping.. still not done. You'll be waiting for them for a LONG time
