i second this, i made the mistake of a loudmouth without cats. i think a bullet muffler to put in place of the resonator would be around 40 bucks or so, and another what 50 to install tops? i would suggest that set up

30 rwhp...ehhh with a good tune yeah its acheivable. but every car is different so to be safe ill say 20-30 rwhp with tuning.

I think there is a sticky in the new LS1 enthusiasts section that has a bunch of sites with how-to information... Good luck with the installation... 20-30RWHP sounds like a good estimate...
