What am I missing on LG PRO HEADERS
Good day to all,
I am installing LG5X3 Cam and Pro exhaust. Waiting on AFR heads. I planned on removing air tubes and pump. To make things a little bit easier I thought I would just buy block off flanges instead of making them. Here is where I hit a little bump in the road. I call LG and was told by Bobby that they didn't recommend blocking them off. I said, the install instructions did not mention this. I then asked why? He said that the extra weight of a blind flange caused the air tube on the header to break. Hog wash Come on the air tube assembly is flanged and weights a lot more than just a blind flange. Am I missing something are is this just some lame excuse for shoddy quality and workmanship showing up on the worlds most powerful and expensive header on the planet? Thanks guys.

That is exactly what has happened on LG and Kooks headers. Not shoddy, just harmonics and metal fatigue. Why didn't you get them without the flanges? They are available like that. That way, those of us with the AIR hooked up don't need a massive overbuilt assembly to make up for you deleting yours.
