Default New to the LS1

I have an 01 SS camaro with the m6 manual. I am planing on giving my car a early christmas present such as Long tube headers, high flow cats, and a cat back system. The Flowmaster that is on there now sounds ok but i want power and sound. I was wondering the best what the best setup would be? I am thinking pacesetter headers and magnaflow cats and exhaust.
It is going into the shop anyway for a bearing that is out in the rear and 4.10 gears so i thought while it is there just as well start the upgrade process of going broke to go fast.

What does everyone else think

pacesetter longtubes coated are good but don't get the pacesetter Y pipe! it bangs my floorboard and subframe connectors so bad. I'll have to install an exhaust hanger to fix this stupid prob. I have heard the texas speed y pipe has no probs...

Coated Pacesetters and LM1 since you are going to be running cats. It will take the raspe out of it and will sound bad ***

Im running the XS stainless longtubes ory with a borla and it sounds great but the XS ypipe bangs the floor. You might want to rethink the 4.10s I have heard horror stories from people with those gears in a 10 bolt

yea i might blow up the rearend with the gears but then i can put in a 12 bolt or a 9 inch ford. my rear has a bad bearing and i am getting it fixed and i thought hell just as well change the gears while it is apart.
I have heard that the loudmouth system behind headers gets anoying loud with lots of drone so that is why i am thinking magnaflow. I like borla but is dam expensive so that is why i am thinking magnaflow
