Kooks Going On Today
Dropped the '99 off last night at MORE Performance. Getting the 1 3/4" headers, high flow cats and X-pipe installed. They are also doing a dyno tune. Can't wait to see how she comes out! 
I usually do all my mods, but decided to let the pros do this one. The guys at MORE are pretty awesome! Not too many places that I trust to mess w/ my baby!!
I'll do a follow-up post here with the results!!
UPDATE: Installation and Tuning Complete!!!
WOW!!!
These headers sound awesome. The fit and finish of these Kooks headers, cats, and X-pipe are the best I've seen! Bar none!! And MORE Performance is a CLASS ACT operation! I'll be back...when I find some more money!! 
First impressions:
After graph shows 327.93 HP / 334.81 torque:

- The sound is awesome (I know I said that above, but worth mentioning again!)
- B&B PRT tends to pop and burble w/ stock exhaust. Now this has virtually been eliminated!
- Slight resonance before, between 1500 and 1800 rpm. Maybe a little more with this system in same RPM range (no complaints though).
- Hotter under the hood when I got home. Glad I upgraded plug wires and installed insulator boots.
- Gained 19.34 RWHP and 22.69 ft-lbs torque (graphs below)
- Definite "seat-of-pants" improvement in acceleration!
- Did I mention....THE SOUND IS AWESOME!!!

Nothing like a set of headers to make the corvette sound really great. Recently had mine put on and just love them. My tuner has been out of town racing but hope to get it tuned in the next week or so. Your really going to love the new sound.

Just got off the phone with them. They are just getting her in for the tune!!!
