Headers Installed

Wow, the headers are so nice. The peak torque of the stock setup feels the same at 2750rpms now. So happy, not too loud.

Salute! Lou, Anthony, and Bobby

Installed them myself. Well a fellow vette owner and buddy helped me toward the end.

LG Long Tube Pros. Perfect fit, look great, sounds perfect. It's really only louder when you are going flat out. My car has a blower and there is so much torque down low, no more lag.

Install was so easy.

A long time ago I had a 5.0 mustang. So I decided to install an H-pipe with no cats. Wow what a mistake. I swore I'd never do exhaust again. It was obnoxiously loud and stunk. But the LG w/ cats is perfect. A slight bit louder but nothing to worry about. Honestly guys I am really happy with the results.

Now I just need an oil cooler. Hmmmm, Setrab external or just use the one in my Dewitts?

Thanks,

Wake up that LS2/LS3 today. These headers just work period.

I have one set of LG Pro headers with Cats available with Free Shipping. PM me for price.

Just finishing up installing ours right now too!. Just go tighten up the clamps and clean up. It was pretty easy, took a few hours but we didnt get stuck anywhere.

It's so nice, just wait til you get tuned. I was blowing the r-comps off at 5000-6500 rpms in 2nd. It's cold though.

Yeah I'm hoping diablosport can come through with a decent tune for me. I put down 372 with thier custom tune before headers. I emailed them to do one up for me for the headers. Should see in a few weeks.

Took it for a ride last night too and it was cold with the supercar tires and they would just spin no matter what. Like part throttle 3rd gear 2500 rpms and the car would jump sideways.

It feels good though,dont think I'll be needing the supercharger afterall!

It sounds a lot better too btw

I saved over $800 doing the install myself and the Gauerized tune. Guys in NorCal I offer tunes. If it's not a complete retune it can be less than $400, and most places charge $500.

LG headers $1495. If you want the cats I can work with you on the shipping and gaskets. Substantial increases in torque throughout the rpm range. 30lb weight savings, what more can you ask for?

Thanks, Mike
