hey guys i was wondering what the difference would be on an 05-09 Corvette C6 with either the LS2 or LS3, am making a list of mods that i plan on getting once i get the car and am not dead set on getting a certain year/model yet. i actually have 2 questions:
1. which are better; American Racing, Kooks, or LG Motorsports longtubes?
2. what is the hp/tq difference when running no cats vs running hi flow cats? i want the most hp/tq i can get but am scared with no cats it will be loud and poppy sounding like glass packs. i hate that sound.
sorry if some think this is a stupid question but im new to Vettes and am just getting opinions & ideas. thanks in advance.

Ive run this test, hi flow cat vs test pipe, on an engine dyno before with a full Dynatech headers back setup and there was a 3-4hp difference on a 535hp LS1.
Run the cats, itll save you possible fines, it wont pop, and you wont feel the difference of 3-4hp, which is only 2rwhp or so.
