Default Header Installation

I'm installing LG Street Series on my 2011 GS A6 and I got the headers on along with the cats, mid pipes I'm having some trouble hooking up the LG x-pipe to my facotry NPP. I was wondering if I were to remove the factory NPP from the rubber mounts in the rear to help me in hooking it up to the x-pipe.

You might try hooking up the X pipe to the mufflers first and then sliding in the front connection.

Default LG Headers

Should be a very nice HP and TQ increase. Hope you get it dyno tuned for the full benefit

CSIXX1 ... I too have a 2011 GS / A6 / NPP

Please let us know if you feel that the car accelerates stronger with those headers.

Sometime we let our ears get in the way of our butt-o-meter since the sound will certainly be different.

I just would like to know if there really is a seat off the pants difference that you can actually feel after installing those long tubes with cats.

I am really thinking hard about a set of headers with cats for my GS ... one day I really want them, and the next day I think I would be better off keeping the car stock, except for my Chuck CoW tune. (I would not want to change that back to stock)

Ron,

Ron,
On my 08 headers made a big difference, then had Chuck retune it for FREE.....
