Re: TPIS vs LGM's Headers (kumar75150)
There are lots of header choices out there. The only two I would recommend are the Stainless Works, or if you want to spend some more money and get a bit more lower RPM power, the LGs. Both are made of 304 Stainless Steel, which is the only material I would want a set of headers made of as they will last forever.
If you want any pricing, please email me!

Re: TPIS vs LGM's Headers (gcvette)
I have decided to buy headers, but I am trying to find out which ones to purchase. Any thoughts :confused: :confused:
On the other hand I've heard good things about TPIS headers too, both on the forum & from a friend in my club. Its a hard decision to make. I won't have the money to buy a set till next spring so I'm just absorbing as much information as I can before then. Good Luck with your search. :cheers:

TPIS welds crack(I have seen many). Had them on my car once. LG's are great quality and probably make the most power and are the highest priced. LPE are in between and made of very high quality stainless but more than TPIS and others. You get what you pay for. My 2 cents. Good Hunting.

Re: TPIS vs LGM's Headers (Sack Rat TT)
I have the TPis headers and they've been on my car 4yrs with no problems. My car 1/4mi times speak for it's self. I am waiting for some real time numbers from the other header brands and not the Dyno numbers. My car has the stock cats also and no off road setups. :cheers: :party:

Re: TPIS vs LGM's Headers (SvenOdin)
I ordered my LGM's (w/o cats) some time ago and do not have them yet !!
I'm super fired up but i have never heard long tubes on a vette before.
Does anybody have a clip ????

LGM Longtubes with "merge" collectors. Pricey, but the finest. Only setup I know of with Merge collectors. Big help with bottom end torque. FWIW.
