Default New LG Headers, Xpipe, and BB Bullets

Just put the order in
Anyone have some info on the new LG headers that the guy from LG just said we were nuts for not waiting for, 2 weeks

I will be self installing the above mod when the headers come in

I am told I have to do a tune within 48 hours ???

The worst that will happen without a tune is you might get a check engine light, and won't get the most power out of the headers. I know people that went a year without a tune

Your problem is that the bullets with the headers is going to be UNGODLY loud. I know, I just got rid of my bullets because of that same issue. I have offroad headers and the bullets were totally obnoxious. goodluck with your new nascar.

I've had same set-up for about 1 1/2, I love the noise it makes but sometimes its just very annoying. Keep it above 1300 rpms it won't be so bad, talking to the passenger or on the phone is kind of annoying at times. Good choice regardless.

Holding my little cheapie camera while turning onto the merge ramp on the local interstate was a bit of a challenge, but I can tell you that the sound is much better in person.

I receive a LOT of compliments on the sound.

Downshifts (I have an A6) are every bit as good, as well.

You're................going............. to ...................just................. .LOVE IT!

Again, with no cats it will NOT sound like the video that was posted above. Trust me, I just did this last week. It only took me one test drive to decide that they are WAY too loud. goodluck, and I told ya so.
