Hi still-asleep -
They look great.
I tried to convince my wife that she wanted those LG streets for her C5 coupe as her birthday present, but she wanted earrings instead.
Maybe that will be her xmas gift, now that I know not to ASK her lol...
thanks for the pics -
best regards -

We're going to throw it on the dyno next monday. I had it tuned previously, but they tuned it again for me as well. That's why I want to see how much increase they will be with the car already having a previous tune. It will show how much the headers actually add, not how much a headers and tune adds.

I have a similar set up - LG Pro long tubes with 3" cats and x pipe, ceramic coated in and out right to the end, with Granatellis, the sound was great, loved it, but since I went heads/cam etc, it can get pretty loud inside! A couple hours of booting around and I'm looking for ear plugs - bought a sound/heat insulation pkg hoping it'll cut the interior noise down to be more bearable... whipping up the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia was tough, but not as bad with the top down...quieter going down the other side!

I called LG and asked them about the rear O2 sensors and they said most people ;have them tuned out. The rear sensors ;just tell the computer if there are cats there but doesnt figure in the fuel adjustments by the computer.

Nice mods - those headers sure look good on the car.

I bought this exact system new from a forum member and he said it cost him $650 to have the entire system coated with the sterling silver.

Because I had Quality motorsports do my original tune, so they had it on file and could simply make some changes based on that. Quality does great work and was cheaper. I'm sure LG would have done a great job on them as well if I had chose to have them installed there.
