Default LCM Longtube Headers

I have been looking at the LCM Longtube Header System for my 03 C5 Vert. What can you guys tell me about gains, ease of install, quality and value for the money. Thanks all!

Assuming you mean LGM. LG installed mine, so I can't speeak from personal experience on ease of install. It did only take them 2 1/2 hrs on a lift. As to gains, my car, LG Pro Lts with hi-flow cats and tuning picked up 30 rwhp and 26 rwtq (340rwhp/354rwtq total.) The tune was not for max power, but to be emission friendly, as I have to pass a yearly sniffer test. LG seems to be at the top of the price range, but given the results and quality, I'm happy.

Oh, I see from your link that you are looking at Kooks headers, not LG. Please ignore all the above.

My LG Pros and (295's) took me from 13.3@107 to 12.7@111. No tune. I did not install them, so I don't know about the install.
