Default Any differences between LGM Longtubes & Bpp Longtubes?

I know I may be the only one in the world that is trying this , but am I too expect any gains by going too the LGM's ? The Bpp's are stepped Headers and Leak like a **** , I've tried everything from silicone too super glue too get them too stop, but I have too admit, they gave me alot of top-side!!!!! I've had them about 2 years , and I think its time for a change . Any input will be appreciated !!!!

I have the G2 LGM Longtubes. No problems, fit perfect. A little pricey ...but worth it. FWIW.

You'll get more torque and almost as much at the top. A good trade off in my opinion. I sell and install both and like the LG the best.

I'm using the BPP's and they do not leak :)
As said earlier in this thread you will probably not gain anything on the top but you will gain more low-end torque with the LGs. Search the forum and you will find dyno runs backing up this claim.

:cheers:

I have the LG's and haven't had any problems so far. You do gain alot of torque from the LG's if that is what you are after. I love my set and though they are a little high I think they are well worth it.

I have the Breathless 5 piece step headers. They leak so bad I cannot hear the piston slap over the exhaust leaks!!!! Removed them twice, finally had the damned things welded into 1 piece units hoever, you can't weld in certain areas so they leak like hell!!!!!!!!! Spoke with Lou a few weeks ago and will be dumping the Breathless crap and going with the LG's. Can't wait to get them on and actually hear what the car is supposed to sound like. :yesnod:

I got the 1-piece BPP step headers, I thought by just looking at the 5-piece design that they will cause a lot of trouble=leaks :yesnod:
