haha that maybe one of the worst combo's you can get...if you are going cheap i would run pacesetters/ory/and gmmg...if money doesn't matter go with kook's/ory/gmmg..some people like the catted y..just depends on YOUR preference...you can always go with true duals too...

trust me man, i just got my headers and ory on, and through the LM, it sounds AWFUL!! and it is wayyy too loud. as far as headers go, if you are thinking about hookers i would consider jet hots, as they are essentially the same design, but a little better quality. i got edelbrocks and think they were a good deal, but there are all kinds of options, pacesetters, kooks. if you dont want something too loud definitely go with a catted y. either way, with or without cats, i hear good things about the hooker catback. really it all comes down to what you want. if you are looking for all out performance and dont care out noise then you are going to be looking at different things. and another thing to consider is co$t. this **** gets expensive! search and you will find everything you need. my advice is to stay away from the LM though. Good luck!

My exhuast setup gets a lot of looks, and many like the sound. With the cut-out cap on, it's kinda mild and not TOO loud. At least, it doesn't attract attention in traffic. Lots of rasp, though.

How do you like this setup? My friends and I think it's the best we've heard an LS1 sound, and one of the best cars period. Just sounds so wicked with the T-rex. Wish I had a way to get a soundclip

Can't argue with that.
