Default LG Motorsports Header FAQ C5 Corvette

Hi all,

We get a lot of calls about our headers every day about what might be right for me and my car, or what all comes with your header kit?

So I thought this would be a good time to go over our header kits and what they have to offer and your choices.

Street Series vs Super Pro's which one is right?
For most customers the Street Series is going to cover any and all of your needs. These can support up to 450 rwhp with no real restriction or change in power from a Super Pro. Great for bolt on and mild cam setups.

Why go with Pro's over Streets on a basically stock car?
In some cases you might be limited to rules of a racing class or just trying to pull the most that you can from a certain setup. In this case the better collector, X pipe, and larger mid section can help the car breathe at those higher RPM ranges and you can even see a 2-6 hp gain with the Pro's on a basically stock car.


Street Series Kit Features:
  • 1 3/4" Primary size
  • 3" 4 into 1 collector, and industry standard
  • Full 2.5" mid section
  • 2.5" X pipe design
  • Connects to OE or OE replacment mufflers
  • All wires, hardware, extensions included
  • High flow optional 200 cell metal matrix catalytic converters
  • Off-road pipes included no charge on cat'd systems
  • 25-30+ RWHP GAIN!
  • LifeTime Warranty for original owner


Super Pro Kit Features:
  • 1 3/4" and 1 7/8" Primary size options on C6 and C5
  • 3" merge collector with fire cone on Super Pro
  • Full 3" mid section
  • 3" high flow Siamese X pipe design
  • Connects to OE or OE replacment mufflers
  • All wires, hardware, extensions and GM gaskets now included
  • High flow optional 200 cell metal matrix catalytic converters
  • Off-road pipes included no charge on cat'd systems
  • 30+ RWHP GAIN!
  • LifeTime Warranty for original owner



FAQ
1. Can I get high flow cats with your kit?
A. Yes you certainly can. Unlike some other kits we have made ours to be modular so you can replace your cats, install off-road pipes, or upgrade an off-road system later without having to purchase the entire X pipe.

2. Can I use my stock mufflers?
A. Yes all of our kits are designed to work with OEM or OEM replacement mufflers including Corsa, Borla, B&B, and GHL just to name a few

3. Can I add cats later?
A. Yes you sure can. We keep cats in stock and you can always add them in at any time buy just purchasing the cats

4. Do you include gaskets?
A. Yes all of our systems now come with GM gaskets to provide the best seal at no extra cost. Prior this was only Pro kits.

5. Do you include 02 extensions or do I need to buy them?
A. Yes 02 extensions and/or adapters are included as needed for your application.

6. Do I need to tune my car?
A. With any long tube header you should always tune for the best performance but it is ok to drive the car to a tuner if you are doing the install yourself.

7. Which header is right for me?
A. Depends on your build what would be the best to fit into your build/budget. In general for most bolt on/mild cam packages the Street Series is all you would need. Those making up to 525 rwhp should look at our 1 3/4" Super Pro's and those over 525 rwhp should run the 1 7/8" Super Pro

8. Do I need special plug wires or heat shields?
A. No, you can use your stock wires and metal heat shields with our headers with no issues. We do offer extra protection shields however if you would like.

9. Do you offer coated headers?
A. We can have any of our systems coated by Jet Hot coatings in any number of colors and finishes that they offer. We do not stock them this way but can offer this to you.

10. Is your system stainless?
A. Yes all of the piping on our kits is stainless steel, not just the headers.





Finally. Like all LG headers, these are covered with a limited life time guarantee against any defects to the original buyer.

Anthony, the above says: Super Pro Kit Features:•1 3/4" and 1 7/8" Primary size options on C6 (C5 only 1 3/4")

But then after the photos it says: C5 1 7/8" Super Pro system shown above.

I purchased a set a year or two ago. Yet to install them. I ordered the 1 3/4" Super pros but was sent the 1 7/8". Do I have C6 models? Or is there a C5 version of the 1 7/8"?

Typo on my part. We do C5's in SS, 1 3/4 Super Pro and 1 7/8 Super Pro.

Anthony,
Great write-up. This is very helpful. Do you have FAQs for LG coilovers as well?
Such as G2 vs GT2 and recommended settings on GT2 for street, strip, autocross and track?

Actually that is on my list to do. I'll probably have it posted today or tomorrow.
