Default LG Headers

Does anyone know if there are many major differences between LG street nad LG pro headers? Just trying to decide if the pro has enough benefits to justify the additional expense.

Pros have merge collectors.

There have been several threads about the difference. "LG Street headers" should turn up the the thread started by LG to introduce them.

The LGM web site has a decent description of the differences between the two headers. They're good guys to deal with...I suggest you call them for a firsthand explanation. The LG Pro headers are more expensive but IMO it always pays to go with the best (even if it means waiting and saving). I think the LG Pro headers are the best going but Kook's and American Racing make some decent headers as well.

I nstalled a set of the Street Series Headers and they are nice. The X junction is not as good as the Pro Series. Overall, for the price, the Street Series is worth it.

I agree 100%.

The Pro's have true merge collectors, a full 3" mid-pipe section, and a merge (higher-flow) x-pipe in a natural finish. The Street's have a normal 4-1 collector, 2.5" mid-pipe section, a normal x-pipe and come in a polished finish.

You won't find a better header out there either way you go, in my honest opinion. I've had them on both C5 and C6 and would order them again!

I think the LG Pros are better if you are going to add more mods to your baby later on.....
