Default Custom LG Pro exhaust system: Build Thread

With some great help from Bobby @ LGMotorsports, I purchased a set of LGM's used race pro headers along with an x-pipe (came w/ ball flange). I will be finishing the LG pro setup with a little extra addition

Here is the start


From here the build will go as follows:
-Cut ball flanges off of x-pipe and replace with LGM supplied v-band flanges
-weld 2-bolt flanges to 3" to 2.5" reducers
-Take off factory headers, cats & -pipe
-Attach LGpros and mock up midpipe/xpipe section w/ 3" cutouts
-Finish weld midpipe/xpipe
-Send headers and midpipe off to ceramic coating
-Once back and installed, finish installation/fabrication of cut-outs.

I will take some pictures along the way (probably wont be doing much until next weekend). I decided to go with the cutouts to give me the full unrestricted 3" exhaust when needed for track purposes, and still be able to have a 'relatively' tame street driving experience.

BTW: I really want to point out that LG Motorsports has great customer support, friendly, and knowledgeable staff.

BTW2: All other hardware was purchased straight from Summit Racing's website, I ordered it and had all the parts the very next day.
