Has Anyone Bought the LG Motorsports Long Tubes?

Depending on how much clearance you need, take a look at the Elite Engineering tunnel brace...it has additional space machined into it.

It gives lateral support so it doesn't need to be massively thick.

Gotcha! The tubes are pretty tight but I see your point. I will put it back on

I did this same thing since my dual resonators wouldn't clear the brace. I found that on a hard take off the car was hard to hold straight. That is when I figured the frame/body was flexing excessively. I took the factory bracket and had 1" spacers welded to on both sides and reinstalled to clear the pipes. This worked and cured the flex on hard take offs. So the lesson I learned is the bracket does have a purpose and should never be removed permanately. The pipes still would sometimes bounce down and hit the bracket since I only left a quarter inch of clearance so I had my exhaust shop build a brace off the bracket to secure the pipes and now the system is perfect. PM me if you have questions.

You might need to put some washers in between the brace nad bottom of your car. The Tunnel Brace WILL hit on them.

Or look at another Tunnel Brace from say BMR or G-Town here locally.

Just a thought. Yes, Axis read into what I was suggesting. While flimsy, it still serves a purpost in structural integrity.

Thanks and keep it righteous man!!!

1 7/8 with a 3-inch x-pipe, and 3-inch merge collectors

LG was running a special up until August where if you bought the whole system they would basically install and tune for free. LG is about 40 min drive for me.

I don't have enough money saved but I'm getting close. I'm hoping by the end of the year I'll have the money and hopefully they'll do the same special for christmas time. If they do I'm buying the LG system.....if they don't I guess I'll be going with KOOKS.

I plan on getting either one with ceramic coating. The last time I talked with Anthony at LG he mentioned they were trying to work out a deal to get their headers coated through JET HOT. Hopefully that will all be in place by the end of the year as well.


BTW.....I think LG says 418 rwhp with their system and a tune. The 427 from the video was a little mis-leading because he has more than just exhaust and tune.
