Im guessing that if you state on your order that these are for an off-road vehicle they should be able to sell them to you.

They are a work of art! It is almost a shame that they are hidden.

I meant that the only way to see them is on a lift, or when the hood is open. Unless you open the hood or look underneath, the system is not readily visible to the public.

LG will sell you the headers. Personally, I love the LGs on my 02. That said, I no longer live in CA. Any kind of LT header will not pass the visual inspection portion of the CA smog check. Unless you have a shop that will look the other way, or plan on uninstalling the LGs and putting the stock exhaust back on for the inspection, you're SOL.

I have LG Pro Long Tubes and Borla Stingers. I love the sound.

I also have a couple questions you guys on here might know

1) Im running the borla xpipe and quad stingers right now...it says the standard LG system comes with the xpipe. Does this mean I dont have to buy the xpipe (i save $300)

2) I will probably install it myself, but if I have it installed, how much is installation? Ive been told around $300

Thanks!!!

Yes, but certain in counties (http://www.smogcheck.ca.gov/80_BARRe...rogram_Map.pdf) you only have to SMOG the vehicle on change of ownership. Mine is registered in one of those counties.
