I have the same setup as you but I didnt order the x-pipe. I am installing my LG Street Series header system (headers, x-pipe, and hi flow cats) in 1-2 weeks. I will let you know how they sound if you still havnt bought any headers. I recommend LG header just because they race corvettes and their headers are proven and cheaper then almost all the headers I could find.

OBX or XS Power they are inexpensive and make the same power as the others. A few dyno sheets up for both just do a search on them.

My '99 coupe had the Corsa Indy Pace Car catback system on for the last 8-9 years. I just this past week got my car out of the EnglandGreen shop in Houston, with a new LS6, Vararam, LG Street Series with hi-flow cats, and X-pipe - they re-used my Corsa catback. The first time I heard it, I was a bit surprised at how loud it had gotten, compared to before the work. But I drove it home from Houston on Friday and my wife and I just got back a few minutes ago from a short Hill Country cruise. I'm no longer worried about it being too loud - if you take it easy on the throttle (which I still have to do during the break-in period), then it's not loud at all. Cruising at 65 in 5th or 6th is actually very quiet. But when you give it a bit of gas, the smile factor gets MUCH higher. Yes, it gets a bit louder, but not obnoxiously so. It's music to my ears, and I LIKE IT!! You can't go wrong with the LG streets and the Corsa system - but then different people are looking for different results. I'm VERY happy with mine and won't go back now. I just can't wait for the break-in period to be over so I can ROMP IT!!

HTH,

The fit & finish and install quality is second to none with the ARH.

We offer ARH only, let me know if we can help you out. We offer free MSD and NGK with every order. No one beats our price on this deal.
ARH are made from 100% American forged SS, even the flanges. Some of the others use less than SS on the flanges.
