Default Question about LG headers

So if I were to go with the catless version (since I could then theoretically afford a cam too :D ) could it be tuned so that I wouldnt have a problem with smelling gas from the rear? Also, if at some later point, I need to install cats, would I be able to add those to the set up without too much trouble? Thanks for the help.

If you remove the cats it is going to stink no matter what

There is a slight odor, but not that bad. Tunning is key.

I've had the LGM Pro headers without cats since August and haven't had any complaints :thumbs:

If you go without cats, it's not a problem to add them later on down the road. :cheers:

I disagree, I have had mine for several months now without any tuning and I have do not have any "stink" issues. I plan on having some tuning done this spring to squeeze a bit more HP out of it now that the LT's are on.

I have the LG Pro headers and an LG Cam Only package without cats. With tuning there is a slight odor, but not that bad. I don't spent much time with the car idling in my garage with the door closed, so I don't have a problem. :D
