SGM Long Tube Header Review
Those of you that have been scouring the Intake/Exhaust section knows about SGM, Sequence Garage Motorsports, having LTH for the VQ35DE. I was one of the lucky one to get a hold of a set and to keep things short and sweet I am very pleased with the product.
Quality: It came with a heat shield and sleeves to protect the lines on the passenger side which was a nice goodie. I also got mine heat coated which turned out to be a very nice option. The welds and fitment are of course really good.
Performance: Huge gains over shortie headers and test pipes.
Sound: This was the biggest concern of mine after watching the video of their race car, but I am glad to report that it is no louder than before and actually better sounding.
Installation: You won't need to pull the engine out since each primary are bolted one at a time. Should significantly reduce install time and cost.

Hes got a stroked/bored built motor. N/A. Nasty motor. My question is, what cams do you have? It looks like you need more aggressive cams to take advantage of those headers!

i don't mean to dis SGM b/c i'm sure they make quality products but it seems like most of the products they sell are over inflated. Why is the jwt pop charger for ex $238? Thats way over the retail...

Price is around $2k but perhaps things might have changed now that he is further along the process.

The cams are custom grinds both on the intake and exhaust sides.
The LTH comes in pieces so that they are easier to install.
Here is a video of it idling with the MD gamma (connects perfect to the XYZ pipe). I've been meaning to get some better vid and will try to this weekend.
