Gonna be different and go w/ the QTP Tri-Y design this spring; some think they give stronger midrange gains (as opposed to high-end) than others which would seem to be a more useful place to have it for everyday driving.

I just had Kooks 1 3/4 LT's installed on my 97 with my previous Z06 Ti catback...I love the sound...great on the road and when you get on them...they come ALIVE!
I have the entire Kooks kit with high flow cats and their X pipe...love them! I didn't do the work...but the shop said the engine had to be jacked up a bit to get them on...something to do with their bends to make equal length tubes I understand...

Having MSI install my LG pro long tubes w/high flow cats and x pipe. It will then be mated to my B&B Bullets.
Should be loud and exactly what I am looking for.

Hi Guys,
WE have our
LG PRO STREET SERIES Headers in stock now, ready to ship.
WE just did an install yesterday on a totally stock 99 coupe except for a K&N filter when it came in.
We installed the headers plus a Halltech Air intake and a LS1 edit tune, and went from 304rwhp 313rwtq before to 334 rwhp 350 rwtq After.
This header does not have our Merge collectors and it has a 2 1/2 X pipe rather then the 3" X found on our LG Pro Long Tubes.
I will post up the graph shortly.
Ready to ship, without cats for $1195 complete system from Engine to the cat back connection. Full 304 stainless.
Cats available for $200 additional.
Thanks
Lou Gigliotti
PS, We have our Original LG Pro Long Tube Headers in stock also.
The test car below has 100,000 miles on it
