If even 5% of those cars had the experience you say you did, this board would be littered. Good luck with your issues. But please keep this thread free of experience with service, or opinion on the shop. Its about a new product. If you want to post your own thread or in the feedback section go for it.

I too sympathize with the experience you had, but have to agree you are part of a very small crowd. The vast majority of people are happy with LGM. With that being said can we get back to talking about the "BIG 3"'

Maybe it's because they usually do better work, which is why they're the big popular guys

I think there are 2 reasons for that. 1. They spend the extra time to dial the tune in that they often dont for a basic $400 tune customer. Remember to get a tune 90% is alot of work, and by that time its close enough to drive well and make good power. It really doesnt make sense to throw another 1 1/2 to 3 hours when the difference is nominal and you have 5 more waiting behind it. 2. They generally use every bolt on, and tweak possible, that not everyone does. I dont doubt that dyno tricks have and will again happen. But you can see the shops that put down power, time and time again.

Well the test car was baselined on lg's dyno with the pro longtube headers, g5x3 cam, and a full tune. The Ti was on the car for the base line. Next the Bullets were put on and several pulls were made. Finally the bullets were removed and the big 3 installed. Final increases vs Ti was 14 rwhp 19.5 rwtq, and vs the bullets the big 3 made an additional 7.3 rwhp and 7.3 rwtq. All tests were done on the same day, same dyno, no tricks. At any rate be skeptical if you want. I trust Louis and the boys at LGM, and doubt they would ever consider tricking out the results just to sell a rear exhaust system.
