Default First thoughts on LG Super Pros

Finally found the time to install my 1-3/4" Super Pros on Friday. Wow! What a difference! Everything fit perfectly, no noticeable difference in ground clearance. The car sounds like I've always wanted it to, and drives even better. 100 or so miles in, and very pleased with my LG's. Going to have it tuned next week, and after that it's an MGW shifter. That should satisfy me for awhile...

Cams sure do look fun though.

Just a difference in tone or loudness? Difference in performance? If so what? More bottom end, quicker acceleration?

I would say all of the above. More of growl at lower rpm's, and the exhaust sounds throatier overall. The car definitely seems quicker, though I haven't pushed it too terribly hard... yet. The biggest gains feel and sound like they're at the 4k+ rpm range, though I can feel SOTP gains everywhere. I'm running the stock Ti exhaust and plan to keep it that way. Still very little drone at low rpm's, but screams when you push it.

Very nice upgrade to your car and good to hear there were no issues with the install.

I'm running them with Borla straight pipes and the sound is absolutely incredible without being annoying. Highly recommend!!!!

Took me about 6 hours. I'm not the most mechanically inclined. Ha. Getting everything together was a little tricky, as some of the end fittings were snug. Only had to adjust one clamp for leaks though. I'm going to have the tuner check it out while it's in the shop.
