I have a set of LG Streets with cats and could not be happier, they sound great and make good power. Most of all they are very reasonably priced I feel.

You will also want to get it retuned after the headers.If you plan to do very many mods,you may want to stack up your parts and put them all on at one time so you don't have to keep getting it retuned.

I'm in a similar situation although my '00 C5 has a BBK CAI and a Corsa CatBack With Xpipe. I'm interested in modifications that will produce some HP Without sacrificing Drivability or MPG. My last trip to Savanna netted us 30 mpg, not too shabby for a Sports car. So I was thinking Long Tube Headers, High flow cats, (Emmissions in MD). Then Fast intake with a larger TB, tune. In your opinions am I thinking correctly?
Thanks and Merry Christmas
