Mine fit great, no issues there. The only problem I have is a tempermental 02 sim. When I have LG install a cam I am going to get them to make those sims not ready.

No Problems to speak of. 21hp / 31tq on a stock 2004 coupe, only other mod was a Halltech Stinger, done before the headers.

Dyno numbers were done before / after the headers on the same day, same dyno.

Definately plan to get a tune, you need to remove the rear o2 sensors and fix the Air Fuel mixture for best results.

Cheers!

I want to be able to have them installed and then forget about them and just enjoy the increased HP. I was hoping to get 20+ HP from them without having to do any tuning. Is this realistic? Thanks for all your help!!!
I had LGM LT no CATs originally on my Mag Red ('99).

After one year I removed them. They developed 'cracks' at the weld joints and were not repairable.

However, Lou stood behind his product, and provided me with a completely new set (which I sold and replaced with KOOK's since I needed 1 7/8" for the 427).

Thought I would mention, LG has fixed that issue and welded supports to those AIR fittings to take the stress off the welds.

Cheers.
