I've got the ARH setup from Vette Drs. with my corsa pace setup....
Nice on the highway, at WOT the sound is flat out intimidating!

The previously mentioned ARH, Dynatech or LG Street Series would be my choices in LT headers. I wouldn't buy the Corsa x-pipe as the LT header systems usually include an x-pipe.

If I heard right buy using the x pipe it cuts down on the crackling sound when letting off the throttle.

I kinda like that sound my dad used have a 1969 gmc p/u with a nascar 427 chev destoked to a 402 with cherry bombs and that bad boy was loud and mean.

Great combo. I have Corsa Indy's, Whisper X Pipe and TTS Longtubes.

Great sound. I am considering replacing the Whisper X Pipe with the RandomTech Free Flowing Cats, anda their X Pipe system.

Kooks or American Racing is the only way to go. The American racing headers have a merge collector that the kooks do not. If you had to pick between the two I would go with American Racing . Shoot me a pm or give me a call at the shop if you need prices.
