HANDS DOWN the LG's Flow the BEST....Also, I can tell you that the VARARAM products are THE BEST intake.....and although other cat back systems can flow more...the BORLA cat back systems have the BEST FLOW by far than any other system in it's class.... Obviously, a set of B&B's might flow more....but, the noise is intollerable to most of my customers....So, that being said.....

YES, the LG's FLOW MORE THAN OTHER HEADERS....and I have tested it.....

Hope this helps,
Chuck CoW

When you say LG do you mean the Pros, Street Series or both? Thanks

The pro is the best piece.....Streets are nice, but not the same.....Streets are alittle cheaper.....but, I ALWAYS use the pro's......

I kept eyeing the Stainless Works long tubes, but i read in a couple threads about quality issues, and it turned me off of them.

I was definitely gettin with the price of the Texas Speed's, but they don't maintain the AIR system, right? If they do have the AIR hookups, then i think i'm sold...

I'm pretty happy with my TPIS/RANDOM cats and X pipe.
