I have ARH 1 7/8" long tube headers, low flow cats and with the NPP exhaust I can tell you it is LOUD with the valves open. Being able to close the valves is a great feature for those long cruises.

My car sounds like an F1 car when I go underneath a highway overpass. LG long tubes, HFC's, x-pipe and NPP exhaust with mild-to-wild switch. It sounds like a symphony to me but I realize I have flat out scared people in the next lane when I go WOT. I realize I sound like a child by my description and that is exactly how happy I am to see people's amazement. I often wonder if it makes other driver's mad but noone ever says anything disparaging.

^you will love them. LT's + NPP is generally regarded as the best all around. That said, I realize Corsa, Borla, etc. are marvelous as is many others. LT's open you up flow-wise and the NPP gives you the option to be quiet vs. testosterone rager.

I too am thinking of this "sleeper" (as if you can call any vette a sleeper!!) setup. Kooks headers, corsa x-pipe and my factory 08-NNP exhaust with exhaust controller.
I would love to hear it if anyone has this setup or this "type" of setup on there car currently?

You'll need the matching header x-pipe.
