The quiet is achieved by an odd exhaust arrangement: the headers dump into an x-pipe, then the two pipes merge into a single 3" pipe with two inline mufflers.

I would make that thing loud, show that it has nuts..lol My Z28 is wicked deep, it's not loud sounding, just deep. Then again it's a Camaro, so most people already have an idea that it's supposed to be fast.
But to each there own..
But to each there own..
i am thinking about painting it electric blue like the honda Si color only because the inside of the car is all blue. i would like to paint it black but i think black ext. and blue int would look nasty 
I used to love that body style RX7 when I was a little kid, they were brand new back then, thought they looked so awesome. Done right they can still look prety bad ***, most are kinda beat up now though

ive never heard of stock LT1 heads as "nice flowing", and yea reverse cooling is nice due to the compression capability advantage, but still, you lose the vibe when you go with carb. dont get me wrong, ive got a 75 chevy monza with a 327 (carbed) and i love it to death. but ide never want to drive it every day due mostly to the carb (dependability, gas mileage, etc) and my STOCK LT1 would spank the 327 (bored 30 over, headers, wild cam, 4 barrel holley, edlebrock intake, heads of a corvette, high stall, 3.73). just shows the EFI advantage. its still gonna be a cool ride tho man, dont get me wrong!

Now keep in mind in stock form the 93-95s were making 275hp on a single cat and many were dynoing close that to the wheels.
