I've got pace headers, ory, and a magnaflow catback. I think it sounds pretty good. Check out ls1sounds.com if you want to hear other setups.

^^^agreed, any lt header w/ORY and magnaflow catback sounds really good and makes good power. If you're hurting for more power then get a cutout.

There isn't a right answer to that question....everyone has different tastes and different ideas about what sounds good. Try LS1Sounds.com. That will give you some ideas about what various exhaust setups sound like. It's all a matter of personal taste.

Like Hawk said...it's all about personal choice. Some people love the rasp some people hate it. Check the different setups for yourself.
