OK time for a mod. Want to add headers. Want to keep all stock sensors etc. Currently have Corsa touring system with X-pipe. Want to use new high flow cats and current system.

Let me have it.

LG Pro Long Tubes here. Love them and they sound amazing plus big improvement @ the dyno and the 1/4 mile (35 RWHP, 33RWT, .38 ET, 4.7 MPH increases). Matt and Lou gave me great support, and thier CATs only loose 1RWHP on the DYNO (Corvette Feaver I think). Good luck!

Talked to LG motorsports . I'm leaning heavily towards a trip from Oklahoma City to Dallas. Yea a little more money but yea it's a vette.

I'm busy till next month but they said a few weeks notice and half a day to install. Plus a dyno tune.

Now if my 97 oilpressure sender would work for more than a few months I'd have it made.

New tranny will handle the horsepower.

Get the LG's. I love mine. No dyno #s. SOTP power increase is amazing. Ordered mine and received them in four days. Great company to deal with.

Since I don't own a set of longtubes, I can be fairly biased.

I would pick LGs w/random tech for my first choice. then I would choose
Dynatechs for my second choice.

The Dynatechs install a bit easier. I would only choose form these because they are the only true longtubes, the other brands have quite a bit shorter primary tubes.

If money has to be considered, then I would go Stainless works.

Give us a call and we can help you out.

LG Pro Long Tube headers just won the Pole last weekend and set a new track record at Lime Rock race track. We beat out the factory Cadillac race team with Burns Headers on their LS2. Burns stainless headers are the best but they are also over $5000 for the headers alone. We use a production version of their 4 into 1 Merge collector on our LG Pro Long Tube headers.

One thing to ask when buying headers is what material all the parts are made of. Are they stainless steel or mild steel or galvanized. also ask if you have to cut your stock system up to install them. Our LG pro Long Tubes are 304 stainless steel, and are a complete bolt on right up to your stock mufflers. no cutting or welding.
Also ask if the cats are 3" or 2 1/2" and are they metal matrix or ceramic. LGs are 3" and Metal Matrix


GO To www.lgmotorsports.com
to front page to see drag racing video of the LG Pro Long Tube headers running 140mph in the 1/4 mile normally aspirated stock cu in. this car did 535rwhp 482rwtq. The most any header has made on a stock 346cu in NA Corvette in the world.

Drag video:
http://www.lgmotorsports.com/images/media/lg140.wmv


or to www.lgmracing.com to see in car racing video.

enjoy.

Thanks,

Lou Gigliotti

LGM
Ask for Lou when you call in, and since you are in Oklahoma, we can install and tune your car with LS1 edit.
Headers, Merge collector, 3"X pipe and 3" mid pipes, without cats = $1395
Install $250
Tune $250

Thanks
