Default Exhaust and headers

98LS1formula
any exhaust recommendations? Do not want the old loud thrush muffler type. Had the corsa on a previous ls1 vette and liked that sound.
Is it worth the power gain and cost adding the headers? Type?
Does that change the exhaust sound much?

Hi Lic98LS1bird,

Welcome to the forum. It's always good to see a new member

Hopefully, a mod will move the thread to Gen 3 External Engine where it will probably get more attention.

In the meanwhile, there's a sticky in the Gen 3 External Engine with a lot of information that maybe interesting. Some of the links are old and don't work so staring toward the end of the thread and working back is probably best.

I like the Hooker Blackhart true dual exhaust. I have one on my 99TA. Hooker also makes a matching set of headers both 1 3/4 and 1 7/8 primary. We cobbled up a custom x pipe to set up with my Kook's LT's and I'm happy.
