Default Headers/ORY with stock SS CME exhaust??

i have the 345hp option on my 02 SS which includes the blackwing lid and upgraded exhaust. i know this exhaust is supposedly free flowing, but im not sure exactly how well it flows. i just installed my pacesetters and ory pipe today. i want to keep the cme setup, so the most i will do is replace the muffler so i can keep the tips. im already putting a cutout in the i pipe. will i be hurting my performance with the muffler i have now?

keep the stock catback, with the cutout open while racing will be plenty of flow

Nope, you're not going to hurt performance at all! That Dual/Dual catback (what I have right now as well) is one of the better-flowing catbacks on the market. Adding the headers will pick you up some great flow and the exhaust will still remain decently quiet. Get some soundclips up when you're done!

That would be the option that you would want to take with that setup. It will be optimal/loud.

I plan on it. I also think that it looks best on pewter/silver. I might just buy the ones with the gloss black insides from ProCarParts.com.
