I love my Corsa on my LT1, Ive heard it on a Catted 98 SS Camaro, I kept it from the LT1 car and I am going to reuse. Borla would be my second choice. I have a friend with a 420rwhp cam only z28, with LT and no Cats, open plate it is down right nasty.

I love my Hooker Aerochamber muffler. Sounded great with stock manifolds/y-pipe & now sounds even better with LT's/ORY. Not to mention its one of the highest flowing mufflers out for our cars.

Borla is my vote. Great fitment. You can use the plates or get the QTP cutout that goes in place of the plates. That is what I use.

Going through the muffler its fairly quiet at idle. When I open the cutout its loud at idle and insane WOT. If you go with an ORY expect to get rasp unless you have it running through the muffler.

I had a borla system on an LT1 car. Borla even sounds exensive! It made the LT1 very deep, a lot of tone. I can only imagine the LS1 being sweet.
