Headers - pick some good long tubes with good sized primarys. this will help a lot with growth down the road. 2. high flow bullet cats - one off each header. 3. xpipe - this will help with resonance and create more power. 4. pipe to mufflers. 5. mufflers... borla... magnaflow... get good ones. it might be worth buying the corsa L98 system (sorta cheaper) to get their mufflers. The LT1 picked up 50hp on the L98... and I am convinced a chunk came from the dual exhaust system. The intake provided the rest. I feel that exhaust is worth 40+ hp when using a stock intake. If you work the intake a bit, I expect another 15 to 20 can be found. My feeling on cats has been well reported. I feel they are a small price to pay to keep our air breathable. These olympics have done so much to prove my point... one look at that smog and be thankful these buggers exist! It's about being responsable, too. If we all gut our cats, even tho no one is watching, so to speak, the fun could be nixed at any moment because we are not policing ourselves. Oh, technically, the exhaust above is against federal law... but if it passes the sniffer, that's at least honouring the laws spirit of the law. |
