The stock titanium catback flows so well, and is so light that you will not gain anything from a catback. I think the 01 had pup cats. You should see a nice gain with the LG longtubes and a tune.

headers are a great mod and really wake these cars up. of all the headers out there, LG is considered by many to be the best. the sound of them and a aftermarket x-pipe plus the stock TI catback is amazing! thats exactly what will be going on my Z this spring.

I saw a good improvement with headers
I changed the TI (stock) exhaust out for sound only

I have B&B Bullets, there only 3pounds more then the stock TI system. I have a set of LG Pro's on there way. The UPS truck should be droping them off today. I'm going to have LG Pro's+no cats+B&B Bullets.

I have LG Pro longtube headers and bbexhaust bullets. No cats no mufflers, if you need a sound clip go check out my vid allngn_c5 hits 190+ on the way to work. You can find it in the street racing section.

The sound from my exhaust when above 3000 rpms truly scares people as I go by them. Kind of like a jet breaking the sound barrier. You'll love em if you get em.

If you are lookin for a raspy, crispy sound, go w/ the kooks 1-7/8 headers and the 3 inch x-pipe w/ the cat delete pipes, was running a 12.00, did headers and exhaust and went 11.49, if I were you i'd go w/ kooks
