Car and wheels looks great! What size and style I-forged are those?

What size header primaries did you go with? Cats?

Until we hear otherwise, I guess we assume the after numbers include a tune?

I have LPE LT's through stock cats and Z06 ti catback. At cruise it is very sedate, but sounds good when you get on it. The stock cats do alot to tone down the noise.
My buddy has the Kooks with high flow cats and Corsa touring catback.
It's louder than I like in the cabin at cruise, but he loves it.
I guess I would describe mine as a more refined sports car kind of sound, and his, as an in your face, kick butt, race car kind of sound.
Just a matter of preference.
You really should ride in a couple different setups before you decide what your tolerance level is.
