Default LG LT Questions

I am hoping some of you members that have installed your own LG LT Headers could help me with a couple of questions.

How many sets of clamps should be included in the LG Pro LT Headers?
There should be to my count 3 sets of 3 in. and 1 set of 2 1/2 in.
My kit seems to be missing 1 of the 3 in. sets.

Should there be 2 bolts included for the mount to the bell housing?
None included, and there was nothing in the holes prior to starting.

Also should the front Oxy sensors extensions be the same length?
1 of mine is 10 in. shorter than the other. And yes they are the ones for the front.

After waiting three weeks to get these and kicking in extra to get them shipped overnight, this is somewhat disappointing.

Called them, they are sending the clamps and some new extensions for the front O2's. Should have them by Wednesday this week.

I looked everywhere I could think of in the Chicago area and could not find this type of clamp anywhere.

You can just use a regular exhaust clamp in the meantime. Until you get the band clamps.

I am running Corsa Sports with 4 tips and the LG 32" long tubes and high flow cats. This setup is definitely louder than the Corsa Sports alone but is not intrusive in the cockpit - or at least it wasn't prior to the LPE 403 engine upgrade. Now it is LOUD at rpms above 2K and really a beast at any rpm above 4K. Of course it also produces over 470 RWHP so I am somewhat able to out run the sound.

Default scared to death

ok--so i have an 06 vert 6spd. i had the corsa sport exhaust installed. I am now looking into having an airbox and headers installed (lg lt's)....will this throw codes....whatever that means. Will i need to have the car tuned? cause i can't find a shop in NH or MASS that does this and i don't want to cause myself headaches. Any input is appreciated.

Hey chopper same problem here. I am driving to NC this friday to get my headers put on. I have had them for over a month in my apartment and it is time I take them to a real state and get them put on. NEW ENGLAND = not for performance vehicles, everyone here is scared to do anything. I will tell you about it or you can come see it I will be back early next week.

I threw a code when I put mine on...but that was becuase I unhooked the temp sensor in the block..e.asy fix, just a lil plug under the alternator near cyc. #1.

I noticed a heck of lot power up top too. Down low was some notice but in all honesty i have gotten enough traction to tell how much faster it is ..

As far as feel goes I would be hard pressed to say that I can feel a difference. The car was parked for three months before putting them on. My first time driving it in as many months was after putting them on, so yea it feels like a rocket.

The sound is exactly what I was looking for. Normal cruising, not getting on it, most would not know there was a difference. The interior levels seem quite normal, there again I had not driven the car in three months. Get on it and the roar is unmistakable, you can feel the rumble. This rumble has brought to light a couple of small rattles from the console but I believe they won't be hard to eliminate.

This is the only performance mod I have done. Tune and CAI this Spring.

No cats on mine either and it makes the stock exhaust sound mean as hell!

No, no funky smell either.
