Re: side exhaust (6spd)
I don't think it will be much louder with lt's if you use a cat in between headers and sideeffects system. They can send you a cassette of how it sounds with system alone. I don't think these systems add much at all in hp gains. They claim 10 hp and usually manufactures shoot high in their claims.

Re: side exhaust (6spd)
As you can see from my sig I have these on my 93. I'm running Hooker LT's without cats straight to the side exhaust. The sound is awsome, even more so at WOT since the exhaust is right at your side. I never did dyno before the exhaust but after I dyno'd at 283 to the rear. This was with stock manifolds and gutted cats. I'd say that is around 10 extra to the wheels...hard to say since I didn't have a base number.
I have more pics if needed.

I paid around $1300 for them, that was a sale price. They are normally priced around $1500!

Re: side exhaust (6spd)
A set just sold on Ebay for 571 dollars. They come through there every now and then. I just sold the covers only to a forum member as I was going to custom make a exhaust to use them. Their appearance does make a statement.
