LGM Headers
For those of you that have installed LGM Headers, and then had a Dyno tune afterwards, what RWHP gain did you have, due to the headers?
I plan on this mod, and would appreciate your info...

I don't plan on spending the evening "searching" when one "helpful" member like silver6spdC5 can give me the information needed in one
reply. If you don't like my post, don't read it. If you cannot offer a
"helpful" reply, I wish that you would not offer any. I didn't join this
great forum to hear remarks like yours.
Love, TRJ

I don't have LG's, but QTP's. Got a solid 25 HP boost from headers only. The tune after installation was very conservative and the final AFR was nearly stock. Based on that, I would think 25 HP could easily be obtained. My HP is at 330 peak just for comparison. It was putting out more, but we cut it back with the AFR for the street.

Vettenuts,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I'm at roughly 320 RWHP now and it looks like the headers are a great mod to install. Between your reply, and
silver6spdC5's, it seems that I can expect about 35 hp and 30 tq.
I don't have the Vararam, I have the Blackwing, but I'm sure the results would be comparable.

MY LG's are still sitting in the garage. I hope they perform as well as some of you guys have mentioned. I DO expect those types of numbers. Will be nice to wake this car up a bit.

Thanks for your reply, Glen, do you plan to do the install yourself?
Will you be using an x-pipe, cats, tune? Good luck with the install
whoever does it, I'd be interested in hearing about your increased
RWHP & TQ.

Does anyone think that doing the LGM Headers, and the Mag. Charger
would be too much for my '04 A-4 trans? Thats my plan, unless I find
that it's not exactly a good idea. Appreciate your replies.

A graph paints a 1000 words. This is my before/after LGM headers install with no tune!
BTW, this is with high-flow cats;

Vetteran,
What a bump, 3500 to 5000 rpm looks fantastic, and no tune!
Thanks so much for taking the time to post the run, as you say, it tells
the story. It looks like you spent about 7 hours that day, doing the
install and dyno runs. Thanks again, very much...

I do have the entire LG system with the Random Tech hi flow cats and X-pipe.
I also will be having the car dyno tuned after the install. I have a Vararam already on the car and Corsa Pace Car exhaust. I can't wait to have the LG's installed. I had the headers & X-pipe ceramic coated to hopefully help dissapate some of the underhood and interior heat. I also am installing at the same time a ceramic coated tunnel plate to stiffen the car AND to ALSO help cut down on some of the heat from the exhaust entering the cabin.
I'll let you know how it all turns out after the install.
East Coast Supercharging in Cream Ridge NJ is going to do all this for me.
