Default LG Pro header pics
Had my new LG Pro headers installed today. Everything went fine no codes thrown after 25 miles of driving. The sound of these headers into Corsa Indys is beautiful. A real I mean business growl. And even though it is a stock Z I think I can hear more cam lope in the exhaust now. I don't know why I waited so long to do this. If you are on the fence about long tube headers like I was well just do it. You won't be sorry. Heres the pics







I have not had it tuned yet but still noticed a good difference in power .

Thank you for the great pictures. I've been wondering about ground clearance, and your pics offer great perspective of that. They are beaut's too!

Are you able to take a video of the sound? This is the exact same setup I am considering for my stock Z06. Are you using an X or H pipe?

I did the LG's on mine 2 years ago and love it. I even added Borla Stingers last year. Now, it sounds insane.

Sorry, I am from the dark ages I don't have anything to take a video not even a phone camera. But wow the sound is fantastic a real growl sound. This was the complete LG kit with cats which includes a x pipe section and it is 3" from the collectors to the cat back. Real quality work made for LG by Borla.

I do not know why I waited so long. If I had known it would sound this good I would have made the change sooner. Everybody on this forum tried to tell me. Now I know. And I know yours has to be insane with those Stingers on.

. . . and, I still have the cats.


Sometimes I think about putting the TI's back on to tame down the sound, then when I drive it, I am convinced the Stingers stay.

Thats exactly how I feel too. The TI will sound good but man these are perfect. If I get tired of it later I still have my tIs to fall back on.

Can't really see much from the top especially on the drivers side. Thats why I took the shots from below where you can see the tubes. Have you got yours on yet? And secondly have you had a tune done? I plan to go to RPM in Garner soon.

Thanks, I did not do the install. Paid 400 to have them put on. From what I can tell thats about the average going price. My mechanic said they were pretty easy to install though.
