Hey fellas, I need your experience and expertise. :D :D

Here is the deal; I can't decide which LT Headers I want. I like these (below) because it does not require welding.

Belanger - ??

FLP LT Headers System - (leaning more toward this one, but I have to get rid of my Bassani X-Pipe and High Flow Random Cats and use FLP Complete system).

I would like to get your feed back regarding the Belanger, and FLP system from your personal experience (hates it, love it, etc.)

Thanks fellas

Anyone?? Plz..Plz...

Thanks

Mav,
jumping in here because LT headers are a slow topic at the moment.

I have TPIS LT headers because they were big enough to handle the Stage I heads that were in phase 3 of my mod schedule. Headers were in stage 2.

another thing I liked about the TPIS was $$. The ceramic coating is good but I'm cooking it off with every track event.

IMHO the diff between headers is splitting hairs unless they are part of a front to back package. headers are a part of the equation but not the big kick **** jump that I though they would be.

In other words, I only gained 12 rwhp and 16 rwt with LT headers and an X-pipe (Shawn said it would be 25-30 :lol: ) but the reason the gain was minimal was because the big air pump needs more air to pump through the headers. So Phase 3: LS6 intake, stage I heads, & cam will let the headers make more hp by being able to handle the increase in airflow.

Yes, I was a little disappointed in the hp gains with the LT's & X-pipe but they are main componets to the final package. You can't (shouldn't) do heads & cam without LT headers.

So what are your issues? You want to be able to install them without welding? You can always install them and drive it (open headers) to a shop for the welding. What are your main decision critiera?

 

I have the TPIS's and Bassini x-pipe. If I could have gotten the whole FLP system at the time, I would have.

 

Long tubes for you = FLP :yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod:

 

Maverick, I have the FLP system that a friend and I installed on my coupe. I had to pull my MagnaFlow x-pipe to use the FLP system complete. I absolutely love this system. It's easy to install and you retain the flexibility to swap to an off-road setup quickly if you so desire. It's a pure bolt-on system, as advertised. The quality and look are excellent. I was under the car changing my oil and tranny fluid this weekend and just had to stop and admire how nice the FLP setup looks under there. You lose a substantial amount of weight with it compared to the stock setup as well. I'm currently running with the hi-flow cats.

The SOTP was more than I or my buddy expected. It really made a noticeable difference in feel as weel as sound. I love it. IMHO, you can't go wrong with these.

Now I'm ready for h/c. :D :cheers:

 

LGM long tubes.

Nothing like them, though pricey. Even Katech thinks so.

I'm gotten them for my 436: can't wait to fire it up.

 

Thank you fellas for your great input and advised. I think I'm going with FLP for the value and simple bolt on.

Thanks again, you guys are :cool:

Good Choice. The FLPs make me smile every time I drop the hammer.

 

Bandit99, is the sound in general changed dramatically?

Thanks
