LG Streets are a popular header for the C5 along with Kooks, Dynamaxx and American Racing.
I opted for the American Racing they seem to be the current favorite due to construction fit, function, HP and torque across the powerband, and price.

Default they are great!

I just had them installed while getting a torque converter and 373 gears with the Predator tune, the car runs awesome and if you read Yankeevetteconvert's post about the drive in my car, he says it's the best sounding Corvette that he has ever heard, (I agree!) I have them running into Borla Stingers by the way.... I did everything at once so I can't say how much just the LG's contributed but you will definitely be impressed...bob.

I have a set.
Their clamps are crap, but that's a small expense.
The fit is excellent.
SOTP is good, however I have never dyno tuned it.

Same here, but mine were put on with heads/cam/LS6 intake/UD Pulley, etc. I actually had to use RVT sealant to get the leaks out. When my new clutch goes in, new clamps are going on. Save yourself some time, and buy good clamps if you buy these. Even with buying new clamps, this system is a good deal.

I'm just working on mounting LG streets on my C5 -02, how did you guys do with the O2 sensors? Are you using both rear and front sensors or did you move the rear sensors to front and disabled the rear sensors?

Exactly. Move the rear O2s to the front bongs, store the wires by tucking them in the body fram areas. The rear bongs are plugged and the rear O2s are deleted in the PCM.

Can't speak to the streets but I installed the Pro's and they are freakin awesome. Huge difference in torque. I am very happy.
