All catbacks are within a few hp of eachother. You're gonna love the sound though.

Yeah there will be a difference, your new exhaust will be quieter.

The Magnaflow is good because when you hammer it, it gets loud enough to wake the dead. But when you're idling or just cruising around, it doesn't have any of that annoying drone or rasp that most free-flowing exhaust systems have. Pretty much the best of both worlds.

I have one that I haven't installed yet. I am scared about it being too quiet without headers which I will not have until next fall, if I haven't sold my car for an LS1 by then.

It should sound good, but by no means go selling your LT1.

I have one now too and it's really quiet with LT headers. I also replaced my muffler that had a hole in it though.
