That is correct. In order to get the LT portion on both sides, the flange point between the headers/exhaust had to be moved further back then OEM.

Because of the requirement of having the PPE exhaust for these headers that'll definitely make this mod for a very small market, I don't know how many PPE exhausts have been sold, but it can't be that many, let alone members here on CL that don't already have headers..... to bad they won't fit a Joe-Z exhaust & Borla they would have a ton more customers for these for sure.

While discussing this with them, I suggested that if modified RCF Headers wouldn't fit, maybe they could accomplish the equal length task by using long tubes. Well, it seems that RCF headers will in fact fit in an ISF, and the headers they built for me were also Long Tube. How sweet is that?
But, the EL, LT headers must be used with the PPE Exhaust due to the exit point of the collector.
Looks like it.
But like some have stated already. Most of us already have an aftermarket exhaust that will not be able to utilize this option. I for one do not feel like hacking up my JoeZ
But PPE makes a beautiful product!

I don't really understand why they don't fit other exhausts? All the exhaust thus far even the PPE was designed to fit the factory headers, the long tube would extend further back.
I have a PPE exhaust myself and there's no ball in socket where the long tube headers would come too so custom work would be required. Maybe it's because the PPE exhaust has enough straight pipe that it can be cut and a new ball in socket can be welded in? I'm just not clear why the same couldn't work for other exhaust manufactures...admittedly I'll less familiar with the bending on borla and joez.
Will this be an actual product? Or something that was just done custom for Lou?

edit: looks like you "might" have to fabricate a new section on your midpipe for it to line up since according to Lou the bends are different.

1. Because PPE has received a lot of requests from ISF owners for Equal Length Headers.
And
2. PPE wanted to see if it was feasible.
3. In the quest for more power.
4. To gauge CL member's interest.
As far as fitment, to fit in the ISF, PPE needed to curve the rear portion inward, so for any exhaust, even the current PPE, a new front section would need to be fabricated.
As far as RCF EL headers fitting, they do, but the RCF has a larger exit at the collector then the ISF. So either the intake flange on the ISF exhaust (either stock or aftermarket) would need to be enlarged or the collector flange on the header would need to be made smaller. Both solutions are definitely doable.

so since I was really interested in these I talked with PPE, pricing for the long tubes put these $500 more than the RCF equal length headers so $3249.99 stainless and $3549.99 in black ceramic coating.
Pricing isn't bad but your close to Novel territory for equal length headers that just bolt up and sound amazing.
I for one wish these were cheaper as I want to sell mine used to get these but that's not feasible with that cost. Don't let me discount them though, these are worth the money just not to me right now.
