I've installed both, the TSP's are coated steel, while the LG'S are stainless. Both are nice headers, both are easy to install, My TSP's looked damn good to me underneath my Vette

We have the headers in stock and ready to go with connection pipes!! The X-pipes are being built right now and they should be finished quickly.

Our headers are very easy to install as well!!

I have LG Pros in my car. It took one day to put them on the car. The fit is nice and the product goes in very well. I used a how to file on Ls1howto.com to see how to put them in.

I installed LG's on mine and helped install some TSP's and a few other brands.... to me, the LG's fit better than any other header out there. It will basically come down to if you want stainless or not.

BTW, my install took right at 2.5 hrs by myself on jackstands.

Check out American racing headers. Easiest install (designed with that in mind) stainless steel, x-pipe BEFORE cats. LG's would also be a good choice, most proven header on the market for c5s.

IMHO, stay away from mild steel, coated headers if you plan on keeping the car. Stainless steel all the way.

Also avoid dynatech. Rip-off of LG's design, inferior quality. An aquantaince of mine had a LS2 402 installed in his FRC by LG. LG convinced him to put on LG headers in place of his dynatech, even took the dynatech system as a trade for $600 credit. Gained 12rwhp by switching to LGs on the 402.

you really can't go wrong with any major brand whether it be LG, TSP, Dynatech, Kooks, American Racing, SW, or TPIS. most folks who actually run these headers have seen nice gains in power. if money were no issue, im sure every vette owner would go with the LG Pros, however that is not the case. on my 99 FRC i went with kooks and now on my Z06 im going with dynatechs because i got a good deal for those headers at that particular time.

Hey John, you already know my vote. LG's Pro Long Tube Headers BABY !!
Sounds like a Nascar with an attitude at idle, and an Indy Car at WOT above 4000 rpms. The best of both worlds in my opinion. Shamelss plug for Lou G.

LG Motorsports, "Where Money Buys Speed" 1-972-429-1963 Wylie, TX Good Luck Lou Gigliotti, I know you will be bringing the points championship back this year.
