Default B&B Headers VS LG Headers

Looking to get headers for my GS tomorrow. Which should I go with, B&B or LG? Is there really much of a difference, or is one really better then the other. Give me some input if you have use either one. Thanks

Don't know about the LG, but the B&B bolt up to the exhaust system without cutting everything up. They fit very good.

Interesting picture. Are the B&B header tube's not round!
I would go ARH or Kook's.

They are round. I guess I don't understand the question.

I bought them because, at the time, they were one of the few headers that would bolt up to the MagnaFlow cat back. I have been happy with them. Thet are almost 6 years old and still look like new.

Insofar as HP gains, there will be no difference. Both LG and B&B are good. As well as Kooks and others major companies.

Go for the better price if it is between those 2 companies.

Default they are both fine products.

I run Kooks, but either works great and are top quality headers. the B&B do mate up to the factory midpipe so they may come out a bit cheaper if you go that route but either way you will like them just fine.

kooks headers are quality, but the nuts and bolts they provide you are crap and will come loose quickly. i had to have my bolts redone and put a lock nut on them to stop them from coming off again
