If I...?
Sorry keep on asking newbie questions, but i am a newbie to corvettes.
So If i go to lg motorsports website and purchase the $1500 longtube headers that comes with the xpipe and borla stinger cat back, without the xpipe for $1200? do I have a complete after market exhaust system or, i still need to buy highflow cats or pipes etc?

The headers from LG are $1595 aren't they(not $1500)? That includes the 3" X pipe. That with the cat back installed is a full system. You can add cats for an additional $300 according to their pricing. So it's $1595 + (the cost of the cat-back) if you don't want cats. $1895 + $(cat-back) if you do want cats. You need that intermediate section to have a full system.

This is correct, except I thought LG gave Corvetteforum members a $100 discount off of the prices you listed.

Why the hell won't people stop posting about long tube headers? I don't want to spend that kind of money on just exhaust, but everytime someone brings it up, I want one. You jerks are driving me crazy

You can get the "sound" and the "fury" for a few dollars more.I was shocked to see some of these catback systems selling for well over $1,000.00. Almost as much as a set of long tube headers. No way I'm paying that just for noise.

If your not doing it yourself you might want to see if a local shop will give you an installed price. A local here was willing to go 1800 installed on the LGs. Headers have a huge markup both from the originating vendor and the reseller. By going with an installed pricing the shop can bypass pricing agreements and basically give em at cost plus labor.
