Default new z06 headers

Will be getting LG street headers soon for my 03 Z06. Plan to replace shortys and will need to get a re tune. Anybody have recommendation for tuner in Eastern NC. I have heard of RPM and also Mayhem . Any feedback on these. And maybe some phone numbers or links. Thanks for your help.

You know, LG makes some damn good headers. You won't go wrong.

Why are you getting the "street" series ?? The "pros" are the better of the two that LG Motorsports makes. $$$$ or what ??? If you are going to upgrade your exhaust, make the biggest improvement you can so you don't think what if later .

I am acting on the advice of Anthony at LG Motorsports. He says for my application the streets will be the choice. He says the torque increase will be the same and the Pros would be worth maybe another 5-7 hp over the streets. I don't plan to add cubic inches,FI,or cam even though he says the streets will work fine for small cam. So I am considering the streets.

I went with the streets and it made a huge difference. I just didn't think I'd miss the extra 5-10 hp for another $800.00. If I did, I'd just change my jetting

Good luck!

What kind of increase did you see? I am looking for torque increase mainly as I don't think horsepower will increase much with either the pros or the streets on my combination. I am at 381/364 on 03 Z06. Like to hear what kind of increase you had. Thanks, Mike

If Anthony said the street series would be fine, then I am sure they will be fine. I was just saying that if you were considering opening up the motor and putting a cam in there and doing heads then I would definately want the LG Pro longtubes. Exhaust only with boltons the street series will be fine.

BTW how do you like the polished finish ??
