As long as they will fit I don't think the brand will matter. I had LG Long Tubes with a Borla cat back on my car.

If you are taking it to a muffler shop, they will MAKE it fit anyways. Great thing about these cars is there is zero variation in dimensions. All you really have to account for is header length.

This may be sort of a technicality... a shop can make anything fit if they have a good fabricator. As to will these piece parts all fit together out of the box, you would probably want to contact the vendor that makes your header and talk to them. If you are putting LG parts with a Borla X pipe and down pipes that mate to the cat back then give LG a call and see if these pieces will plug and play.

FYI, I believe Borla is now producing the LG branded headers for LG. The LG headers typically come as a complete kit that go all the way to the cat back. I've not seem them mixed and matched other than in their 1st gen hand made headers which came with a dynatech x-pipe.

LG Pro Long tube system you buy from LG's is an entire system ending just before the rear axle. All you need then is a cat back exhaust like Corsa, Borla, etc...etc... It already contains the X pipe, Cats (if you want them) etc...etc....

LG Pro Long Tube Header system



Cat back exhaust below mates up the LG headers above ... thats it.

Kamil, if you have the complete LG Longtube set up, you dont need an X pipe. Do you not already have long tubes on your car? If you already have long tube headers, most kits will bolt up to any cat-back.
