No question LG's!!!! Know you have to ask yourself a questions? How much power do you want to make? How much to you want to spend? Call the guys @Q LG they won't steer you wrong. I have the street series and X3 cam.

I would go with the LG long tubes, I've had them for almost 2 years and they rock. Had mine done at 21st Century Muscle Cars in Carrollton. I started with no cats, but just had the LG hi-flow cats installed a few weeks ago, the smell was getting to be too much. If you want to check out the sound let me know, I'm and IWSO over at the 28th, give me a call at 6-4546.

Two entriely different headers at opposite ends of the spectrum. LG's being stainless and the most expensive option, TSP's being coated mild steel and one of the least expensive options.
Other's to consider, at the VERY cheapest (money wise) option, is the stainless Ebay headers (do a search on these) and back towards the more expensive end, Dynatech Supermaxx (proven system), and than the new American Racing headers, which is the new high-end kid on the block. Top quality stainless headers and getting rave reviews. They seem to be the new header thats putting out the best numbers...likely even bumping LG's numbers.
All good choices in their own way. Depends on your goals, budget and which you can get the best deal on etc.
Oh and both TSP and LG are known for great customer service. Personally if I were to go high end I'd go with American Racing headers, from the numbers and reviews I've seen. I went with Dynatech though b/c I got a great deal on a used set, and they are also a well reviewed,good fitting, good performing stainless system.

With the American Racing Headers vote. I bought my car used 3 yrs ago and it already had SLP headers, and they sound great through the stock Ti exhaust, but if it were my choice, A.R.H.

Im very happy with my TSP header purchase. I installed them myself and only have $800 invested in this mod. This includes the TSP headers and a custom built 2.5 inch catless Xpipe setup I had done after the header install. I might have 5 HORSEPOWER less then the LG Pro's but I could not justify spending $1500 just for headers!!!!! thats like paying $700 for 5 more HP.
TSP now has a 3 inch Xpipe setup that comes with the kit for liek $800 or $900 I think. I bet the numbers would be VERY close to the LG pro system. Infact, the TSP header primary's are only 3/4 of an inch shorter then the LG's....
Ofcourse if money is no object then LG Pro's are a no brainer, buy them and dont look back. You can brag about the extra 5HP every day. But if you work hard for your money and want to mod on a budget, go TSP and dont look back. Texas-Speed has my business now and forever, and their customer service is great.

I had TSP LT's on my WS6 TA, and was very happy with them too. TSP has great prices on most of their products, especially their cam packages and heads. Same with Patriot Performance. The guy At Patriot is an awesome guy too.

Kooks with 3" X-Pipe & Hi-Flow cats. My second choice would be LG. You won't go wrong with either one these headers! Just get a dyno tune right after~ to get the most out of your mod.
