Default LG Header ?

Does this setup with the 3" cat back gain 20+ over stock or over other header setups?

I installed the LG headers with Cats and connected them to Borla Quad Stingers and gained 35 hp/tq with tuning! I think its safe to say that without tuning you will not realize those gains - maybe 10-15 hp/tq.

I gained 29rwhp before tuning & another 10rwhp to equal 39rwhp from the Pro LG LT Header Off Road System.



You will gain at least 25rwhp and even more rwtq from the Pro LG LT Header Off Road System. Lou says with the RT HF Matrix Cats the loss is minimal to none.

I gained over 25RWHP with dyno tuning. I only have bolt on mods, so a heads and cam car will probably even realize more gain then that...

I have the LG's with RT cats and the stock Ti-exhaust. I gained 21HP & 21TQ w/o a tune and the AFR reflects it. So there is definitely more power & torque to be found with a good dyno tune.
