Yet another dreaded exhaust thread
Did a search and didn't see much on this particular option. I've got a '99 automatic coupe that's all stock, except for a Ti muffler setup. Would long tube headers of a quality brand and a CATTED X pipe give some power using the Ti exhaust, and how would the sound be? Also, I came from 2005- and up Mustangs that were so sensitive to mods that pistons have been known to burn with nothing more than a CAI if a tune wasn't installed at the same time. Can this Corvette deal with the catted x and long tubes for a while until I can build up the funds for a tuner or custom tune? All opinions are appreciated.

If I go with the gear change, I will still have to have a tuner to fix the speedometer, true? Or can a GM dealer recalibrate it with their software? As far as the exhaust goes, I was really looking for better sound. The Ti's aren't bad at all, but Corvettes seem so QUIET. Don't want an all out droner and screamer like Loud Mouths, just something more than the setup I have now, without breaking the bank. I'm just considering options, and I'm not familiar with how compatible these cars are with mods like that and stock tunes.

A set of Corsa Sports will also sound great on your car. I have the previous version of the Sports (Indy Pace Cars) and on my A4 car they sound great.
