real muscle cars have iron blocks bigger than 400 cubic inches. we don't own a real muscle car. we have an aluminum smallblock motor that is well known to rasp...severely with louder exhaust kits. one of the only cures to this is to run cats. cats belong on an LS1 f-body. they sound like **** without cats. ALL catbacks rasp at some rpm without cats, at least that i've heard.

that being said, edelbrock's are nice too
i'll be going pacesetter as edelbrock offers no catted-y. ORY's on f-bodies not only are illegal and smell like ****, they sound like **** too. whatever you get, put cats on it.

I love the catless sound and happen to like the smell of gas.

the 1st set of edelbrock long tubes had the problem of them spraying the coating over the paint. and it wouldent stick
not they just use the ti tech coating and theres no problems
imo the edelbrock long tubes and their y pipe are top of the line
1 3/4 stepped to 1 7/8 witch has been proven over and over to make more hp and a 3.5" collector.
imo cant go wrong with eather.
yes ps have proven results and edelbrocks are proving the same

I have the EB headers, clearence is great, the Y pipe from them is also only like $100 shipped, one of the cheapest Y pipes I've ever seen. It all bolts up great. I've had no problems with my Y pipe banging either.

I have the Edelbrock with Ti-tech. I like them. They look good, perform well. You have to weld on your own O2 bungs though (which I kind of liked, I didn't need the extensions), and the slip on collectors leak a little it seems sometimes, but I could tell a performance difference once the cpu adjusted a little bit for running rich at first.

I have the edelbrocks and the headers and y pipe tuck up real tight and stepped headers will always make more power even on a stock bolt on car. the ti tech coating is awesome and they slid right in. only thing i would change would be for them to make a race style since they look better then block off plates on the emmision stuff.

YOU SAID IT ALL. 
Have the Edelbrock race style headers and ory.... doesn't even sounds like the same car anymore it sounds much more like a real musclecar. And who doesn't like the nice smell of gas in the morning on start up?! One question I have, what is the size of the y-pipe on the edelbrocks? It looks like 3.5" because it is larger than my Magnaflow 3" catback.
