i put my own in and yes i used the lgm's[I'M HAPPY I DID!].you won't regret it no matter who's header you use,but i went with the lgm's.the issue's you've read about were because of people not paying attention to what they were doing,not because of the product.the product is very good.it's everybody thinks they can wrench on a car when they really can't.you can see who can wrench and who can't.mistakes do happen,but most of the horror stories are because of a bad install not a bad product.my vote is GO DO IT! just my .02

LG's are TOP OF THE LINE excellent headers. No problem when properly installed. If you tune during the install you will love them even more. Lou and the team are great. When you read of a car having problems after a header install, it's due to poor installation. I have run many different headers and I love my LG's

I just did a Dynatech Supermaxx LT header install yesterday - the seat of your pants feel is pretty noticable and I haven't even tuned the car yet. LG or Dynatech, you'll love them!

I did the same to my 2002 LS1, LG headers, hiflow cats, X-pipe, 160 thermostat and dyno-tune.

Have not had ANY code problems, car runs great, and went from 326 to 359 RWHP.
I also installed all 4 O2 sensors. My LG's are installed with the cats ahead of the X-pipe which many people do NOT do, but it worked out just fine. The rear O2 sensors are in the X-pipe.

Same here. LG did the install and tune on my 02 coupe. The only other drivetrain mod was a Blackwing filter. HP went from 310 to 340rwhp. I've had no codes or problems in 4 months. The system was LG Pro LTs with cats installed before the x-pipe and all 4 O2 sensors installed.

I don't race the car either but I was somewhat disappointed in the stock performance. I just expected more from a corvette.

Installed a set of Kook's LTs, hi-flow cats, x-pipe and a Corsa exhaust. Did everything myself and never had any code problems.

Now it runs more like what I expected. And its a lot more fun to drive.

I think the bolt ons are easy and well worth the money.

Hey Tulsa

Anyways, I did the LG Pro's with no cats and I love the way the car feels now. I just have a hard time stopping with the mods though

I also installed the LG Pro long tubes without cats and a Blackwing intake and my car rocks. I've had no problems nor codes (using the O2 simulators). Two of my friends have these on their Z06's also with the same results. I totally recommend their headers.
