bullet mufflers are the most common and popular for dual exhaust systems on the lt1.....plus they are only like 35 bucks or so each. I have also heard good things about the dr. gas x pipe, which is what I am gonna use come spring as well as the bullets when I do my true dual setup. You may wanna pick up a new set of o2's also, because I have heard of many people and seen first hand from my friend of the o2's going bad within 1-2 weeks of installation of longtubes. Other than that I would say you might as well change your plugs and wires while your manifolds are off and there is room. An lt4 knock module is also something you should install because the true duals and headers may create some false knock. And if you havent had the car tuned yet, then I would highly reccomend doing so.

I gotta say, the cam did by far the most for sound. I was really surprised with how much of a difference it made.
