The 180 headers sound good but they would cost more than the swap to fabricate if you can't diy. The steering shaft limits what you can do with headers, it hugs the block closely.
The turbo diff works better with a 3.375 final drive and you can do the 5th gear swap to get the RPM's down on the highway.
I don't think the 944 had an exotic exhaust note when it had a 4cylinder, the LS1 would improve on it.

Andy, I never heard of 180 degree headers before, so i googled them after reading this. Found a nice ls1 video on a vette, def sounds exotic to me.

That really sounds good.
Does anyone have any info on 180 degree headers?
). They were used on the rear-engine cars becoming popular at the Indy 500 particularly the Ford Cosworth powered cars driven by Jim Clark, Graham Hill and others.

Since you said you wanted an exotic sound, 180's will definately accomplish that goal. Superchargers, titanium exhaust, etc will cost far more and still won't change the sound to the degree that the 180's will.
