Default **LG Pro and Street Headers, Still the best & most complete Corvette header system**

Hi guys,

Everything you wanted to know about LG Long Tube Headers and more!

I have a had a lot of questions lately about our headers systems so I wanted to share a little information for those of you that might be new to the Corvette world, or those that have been looking and just need a little more information.

We offer two series of headers for the C5 and C6 Corvette platform. The original LG Pro Long Tube Headers, and the LG Street Series Long Tube.

LG PRO Long Tube's

*C5 unit shown*

LG Street Series

*C5 unit shown*



Both systems are designed to be a complete bolt on for your C5 and C6 Corvette to do at home and come as a complete kit from the engine to the mufflers.

Each system comes with:
  • Driver and Passenger header with AIR fittings (can be removed for race use)
  • Off-Road Pipes (cats also if ordered)
  • X pipe
  • Muffler connection pipes
  • All clamps and needed hardware
  • 02 extension wires
  • All four 02 bungs already welded in
  • Install instructions
  • Jet-Hot coating, LG Gaskets, and Stage 8 header bolts optional

What makes our Pro's different from our Street Series?
  • Street Series use a 4 into 1 collector vs. the merge collector on the Pro's
  • The Pro Series uses a larger 3" diameter mid section vs. 2.5" for the S.S.
  • Pro's have a Siamese X pipe vs. the Stamped chambered X on the S.S.
  • Street Series come with a high polish finish standard

What other things should I think about getting when installing?
  • LG H.D. exhaust gaskets
  • New spark plugs
  • New plug wires
  • Stage 8 header bolts
  • HeatMaster tunnel heat shield
  • Cat back muffler system


Let us know what questions you might have about your particular setup and we would be more than happy to help in any way.

On a stock car, you probably will not see much more than 5rwhp difference. On more modified car, that difference is going to grow, again depending on how much has been done to the car.

I'm impressed with my LG Streets. Very nice headers.

Anthony, what about if someone was planning to install a mild cam and upgrade heads, how much difference in performance would one expect between Pros and Streets?

Very good question.

If you are going to go with a mild cam, the Street's will still support that, just do not expect the same peak numbers as what the car would have with the Pro's. On a budget build, for a daily driver, this would be a very nice way to go, and maybe only give up 10-15hp, again depending on the total package.

Depends on the car. Typically speaking on a stock C5 Z06 you will see 27-35rwhp and 30-35rwtq, with some area's producing even more power under the curve.
