Question Should I switch setups?? details inside...

Currently: FLP headers with offroad pipes - 3" cutout - Corsa catback.

Considering: Kooks or QTP 1-7/8" headers - 3" true duals with X pipe - spintech or borla Xr1 mufflers - over the axle through Corsa tips.

The motor is just your basic cam-only 346 for now. Big cubes down the road are not out of the question.

Do I stand to gain much (if any) power?

How different would the sound be?

Any input is appreciated

Alex

With the 3" duals you will gain power even with a stock motor, and with a cam for sure. They say duals sound best on an LS1, but I 've only heard them on other motors.

Thanks. How do you like your QTPs? Are they 1-7/8"?

I think you should defiantly look into some stepped Kooks if you are planning on going anything other than stock CI. I think for the stock 346 FLPs will be fine. You might consider swapping out your Corsa for 3" True Duals. Good Luck man
