Some exhaust questions before I buy... 1) I found a good deal on some qtp headers from a vendor but was wondering how ground clearance was for them. I like in Iowa so crappy road and left over salt from the winter desire the need for SS headers and ground clearance.
2) The car has a loudmouth exhaust and I abosutely hate it! I would like to find a quality exhaust that has better flow than factory but also quiets the car way down but still sounds decent(It's pretty much a cruising car that might see a little track time). I've listened to some of the clips but can't really tell. I was something like my buddies car with headers, stock catback with a flowmaster muffler but I no longer have the stock catback and would like a 3" exhaust to breath a little better.
Any input helps guys. I'm still pretty new to the LS1 stuff( have had 2 LT1's and bracket race one)

Stay away from choke master. I would get rid of the LM espically if you go with LTs and O/R Y... Can you say RASP... Now to quiet the car down, i wold go with Hooker Aerochamber or MagnaFlow. Both great flowing c/b.....
hope this helps a little bit?

A friend went with Jet Hot LT's, ORY, and Magnaflow on his 98 Z28 and it sounds pretty good. There is still some rasp, but you are going to get that with any ORY setup, unless you have a Flowmaster (or similar) Merge installed. Anyways, here are some clips of Dave's car right after completing his install. See what you think...

Thanks for the responses guys. I like the sound of the second and it's not too loud. I will probably go with the qtp's, custom y and the magnaflow.
