Default Exhaust video comparison

I have a 2003 Z. First video, the car has a Blackwing, stock exhaust manifolds and the stock titanium mufflers:

In the second video, the car has a Blackwing, LG Pro headers and the stock titanium mufflers:

Definitely noticeable difference in sound.

Here are videos of how it sounds from the inside.

First is just the Blackwing:

Then this is with the Blackwing and LG Pro headers:

The car definitely feels much quicker with the mods done. I had an HP Tuners tune done as well. Went in with 342 RWHP and left with 366 RWHP. Will post the dyno sheet as soon as my lazy *** decides to hook the scanner up.

Of course, the car sounds more aggressive. GF even said that she knew I was at her house because she heard the car before I knocked on the door.

Other mods are:

RPM Level IV transmission
LS7 clutch
MGW shifter with race ****
1-4 skip shift eliminator
160* stat
HP Tuners tune

I think I'm done modding this car. To justify any more money like heads/cam would be hard. By the time I get the funds to do that, I would have been promoted and had the pay bump for time in service so I'd probably just buy a C6 Z06.
