Default newbie here, what should i do?

i just bought an 01 Z28 a few days ago, and its completely stock except for a flowmaster catback that the previous owner installed. ive read plenty of bad things about flowmaster (not loud, no hp gain, SOME hp loss, etc...). can i just get a cutout placed before the muffler to get some more hp, or should i replace the whole catback? im planning on getting some hooker headers soon, and id like to take care of the exhaust all at once, thanks for the help!

Welcome to the LS1 world. Get a cut out and put it in front of the muffler. Some other performance mods are an air lid, a cold air induction kit like the Super Sucker Ram Air(SSRA). Some drag radials help to get your car to hook up.

If you keep the flowmaster just get a cutout,Itll sound mean and you will see a horsepower gain,if you want to change the whole catback I suggest slp loudmouth,and hooker headers a good choice.Welcome to the wonderful world of f-bodies!
