Default Which Long Tubes?

Ok, refer to my other thread for reference...

The shop has 3 LTHs in stock. They are listed below (from cheapest to most expensive). Which ones should I get?

- LG Street
- DynaTech
- LG Pro

The LG Pro is probably overkill for me, so right now I think I'm trying to decide between the LG Streets or the DynaTechs

Have Dynatech's on my current C5(383) great fit and sound great.My last C5 had the handmade Lg's,one of the first 5 sets made and their comparable to the Pro's.Both are well worth the money,in quality,workmanship and looks.jerry

I am on my second set of LG streets, I had them on my first Z and just put them on my 3rd one. I would be hard pressed to change, the fit and finish is second to none. The price is excellent too!

None for me, but I only hear good things about the Dynatechs, from tuners themselves.

I recently saw the install on the American Racing system and was blown away at the quality, fit and finish -tuner/installer pointed it out to me. He has installed and tuned all of the different systems and he really likes this one.

Had Sean from LG install my Streets @ Carlisle two shows ago and have NO regrets. Nice fit/quality and the "seat of the pants" was great. Did these before the cam so was really able to see what the headers do for you. IMO

Thanks - it looks like I asked a WIN-WIN question. I'll talk to the shop next Firday and make a decision. Right now I'm thinking Hurricane CAI, LS6 Z06 Manifold, LTs, further lowering and a TUNE - gotta love it!

I have a strange feeling that CAM and headers are next

Look at it this way:

LG Streets are around $950 and the Dynatechs around $1500....LG Streets plus a dyno tune for same price as Dynatechs alone is no contest in my book!

Then again I'm somewhat biased...

Either the DynaTech or the LG Street will be good for your set-up!

It can come down to which are less expensive!

Thanks,Matt

LG's will give the most torque in the rpm range where you can use it. I've got Streets and they are beautifully made.
