Default Need DIY for headers

Hi all,

I just bought some LG pros from a CF member and planning on installing it by myself with the help of a friend who has a lift. Can somone point me to any DIY headers ??

Any advice or things to be considered while doing this job from all of you experienced folks would be appreciated.

thanks

Do you always have to have the car tuned after header install?
Will the car "learn" enough so it doesn't throw codes?

There is another site called C5 Tech How To, between this site and the LS1 site they take all of the guess work out of the installing LGLT headers

Good luck - It's not really that hard of an install

There is no way to learn codes out of the system. The car must be tuned to delete the codes. Additionally you should gain over 10 rwhp from tuning. I personally gained 12.

That is an awesome write up. I am sure it will make the job a lot easier.

Once again thanks a lot for the help. Will keep you posted after the install.
