Anyone seen these mounts before? BRP Hotrods

I saw an ad for these guys on facebook of all damn things. They sell custom mount kits for LS into lots of different vehicles.

They seem really straight forward. anyone heard of these or tried these?

The headers look to be a viable option, compared to the hawks/stainless works.

Re: Anyone seen these mounts before? BRP Hotrods

BRP seems to have a lot of haters over on 'tech, as well as a lot of folks who think they can do no wrong. There seems to be some fitment issues with some of their stuff, and considering how much they charge for it, I would expect there to be less issues.

I recently bought their oil pickup tube retaining collar, which utilizes both bolt holes in the oil pump instead of just one. It's probably overpriced for what it is, but considering that it's a low production cast part, I think it's understandable. It fit great.

Re: Anyone seen these mounts before? BRP Hotrods

their headers do exist, ask me how i know, but have a strange flat collector....the rest of their kit is over-priced, however.

i also have the oil pump girdle, the peace-of-mind is worth $25 to me.

Re: Anyone seen these mounts before? BRP Hotrods

i don't have a set of the longtubes, but they do have them ready to ship. i've spent weeks, not hours, not days, weeks, searching for a good alternative to hawks. i have also spoken directly with hedmans marketing department director in regards to their longtubes.

mine are midtubes, and should have pictures up this weekend.
