I can get the LG pros for 1895 + $499 tune and install,
or the LG streets for $1195 +$499 tune and install.
(at LG motorsports)

The only other mods I have or will be doing is a cold air intake, (blackwing, and a 90mm throttlebody).

I think the only difference in the headers is whether it's 3" all the way back or not.

Are the pros worth the extra if I'm not going to do Cams?

Thanks,

The other difference is a less sophisticated merge collector (cheaper to make).

From what I see, the streets are comparable to most of the other less expensive systems, like the Dynatechs for example. It really depends on what your ultimate goals are with your mods. Even with a H/C install down the road the streets would make good power. On the other hand, if you want the piece of mind of having one of the most efficient system available for the C5 the Pros are the way to go, you won't be leaving any power on the table.

Sounds like your going with the Fast LSX intake. That will prob req more tuning than Lou has in the $99.00.

If you're going with the Fast 90 I would consider going with a more efficient intake than the Blackwing.Vararam and Callaway Honker would be my choices.

Hope this helps. Enjoy

Call Callaway at 860-434-9002 if you want to install a C5 Honker on a 90 mm throttle body-equipped engine. We have a special-size silicone coupler that lets you connect the larger t-body to the C5 MAF sensor.

I recommend the pros. Everyone I know who has the pros loves them and there is power to be had over the streets.
