Default LG Headers?

Just went to their website, headers are 595. The pro's are 895. Which way should I go? Do i lose anything by going with the 595 set?

TIA,
DBLX

Ahhh.....i think you maybe off by about $1K in each case.

[EDIT] I think you might be reffering to the STREET series and not the PRO series. [/EDIT]

Those are their normal Street Series that only go for $895. The Pro Longtubes are $1800+. If I'm not mistaken the Pro's are bigger headers and built by borla. The street series are smaller, therefore less HP.

Streets:
"$895.00 for the off road version complete with X pipe
headers only for $695.00 to tie into the stock pipes"

The regular price for streets are $1395.

Pros: $1595 w/o cats...

That's what I'm getting from the site.

The link you provided shows the Pros going for $1595 and the Street series on sale for $895. It's my understanding that the street series uses a different style of merge collector - not as efficient/effective so you will lose a little power by comparison. The diameter of the pipes aft of the headers may also be smaller on the streets.

Guess I need to read a little better. LOL! In your opinion, is it worth the extra expense for the additional HP on the street?

I think you forgot to add a 1 to that #, but thats ok. I've been told that you only loose like 5-10 Hp with the streets. I don't have them so I dont know for sure. Thats just what I've heard.
