I have LG Pro's with Corsa catback car is okay sound wise but when I hit it she gets loud not in the car but outside. Just start with stock then if you want it better add to it.

The headers will make things louder but if the stock catbacks are just too tame for you once the LT headers are installed, I'd recommend the Corsa catback - I run the pace cars on mine and love the sound.

Add the Corsa. The factory exhaust restricts the air flow to much. If your doing all the engine work let the car breath better with a better exhaust system

or you could save yourself a buttload of cash and get the stock z06 ti catback. it flows just as well as any aftermarket, weighs next to nothing, fits great, sounds really good and can be had for around 400 all day long. depending on what cam you get the stock converter will make it a pain in the butt to drive. the TSP headers will require some tuning to get rid of the rear 02 sensors as well as turning off the AIR so you do not get any CELs. Also you will have to cut up your tunnel plate to install the headers so the front 02s will clear.
