If i were to just add headers and magnaflow mufflers to existing stock exhaust ,would this be ok? What differance would there be if i put a whole new system on it? Sorry bout rookie questions.

Absolutely, talk with a customer rep who knows exhausts or you will be patching things together. You will need to decide on how to treat the CAT issue as well.

Long tubes are the best way to get flow and sound out of that car. However, if you do long tubes, your going to be replacing your entire exhaust. I think Hooker Headers has some shorties that fit if you don't want to do the whole thing. But, you'll want to have a complete exhaust in the future, so why not do it now?

I recently installed OBX long tube headers on my 94 Corvette. I left everything else original, from the resonator back, and it sounds awesome. They also seem to have improved performance, but I haven't had a chance to confirm this at the track, yet.
