Default **LG Pro and Street Headers, Still the best & most complete Corvette header system**

Hi guys,

Everything you wanted to know about LG Long Tube Headers and more!

I have a had a lot of questions lately about our headers systems so I wanted to share a little information for those of you that might be new to the Corvette world, or those that have been looking and just need a little more information.

We offer two series of headers for the C5 and C6 Corvette platform. The original LG Pro Long Tube Headers, and the LG Street Series Long Tube.

LG PRO Long Tube's

*C5 unit shown*

LG Street Series

*C5 unit shown*



Both systems are designed to be a complete bolt on for your C5 and C6 Corvette to do at home and come as a complete kit from the engine to the mufflers.

Each system comes with:
  • Driver and Passenger header with AIR fittings (can be removed for race use)
  • Off-Road Pipes (cats also if ordered)
  • X pipe
  • Muffler connection pipes
  • All clamps and needed hardware
  • 02 extension wires
  • All four 02 bungs already welded in
  • Install instructions
  • Jet-Hot coating, LG Gaskets, and Stage 8 header bolts optional

What makes our Pro's different from our Street Series?
  • Street Series use a 4 into 1 collector vs. the merge collector on the Pro's
  • The Pro Series uses a larger 3" diameter mid section vs. 2.5" for the S.S.
  • Pro's have a Siamese X pipe vs. the Stamped chambered X on the S.S.
  • Street Series come with a high polish finish standard

What other things should I think about getting when installing?
  • LG H.D. exhaust gaskets
  • New spark plugs
  • New plug wires
  • Stage 8 header bolts
  • HeatMaster tunnel heat shield
  • Cat back muffler system


Let us know what questions you might have about your particular setup and we would be more than happy to help in any way.

The Street's were introduced as a lower cost alternative for those that do not plan on doing a lot of modifications to the cars, but still providing that famous LG Torque!!

I thought kooks were the lower-cost alternative for nearly the same power

The Street Series offers the same performance, at an even lower cost than the Kooks.

Hopefully you're joking and not trashing a supporting vendor's thread.

You might want to read a related thread by Spinmonster WRT to comparing LG headers to the other brand.

Is a tune necessary after installing the headers?

My OPINION is that the LG are better, and after speaking with Anthony, we decided I would be throwing money away for no more mods than I am planning on this particular car. That is WHY someone would not get the pros.

If you like Kooks, get em. I like LG.

Edit: After installing them and running them for awhile, I cannot say I have regretted the decision. The LG are super!

And, BTW, the Pros are an easy 1-person install on jackstands . . . or so I'm told.

I installed my LG Pro's back in February and my only regret is waiting so long to pull the trigger on this mod. I had been on the fence about headers for a year because I thought the install would be too much of a PITA. I was very wrong! The install was very easy and the fit is just incredible. I've had them on and off the car a couple times doing other work and it gets easier every time.

Here is a link to my install if anyone is interested:
