decatting a C6
would decatting and fixing a full sport exhaust to a C6 bring eventual malfunctions to the ecu? what about the lambda sensors reading? should any bypass be custom made to avoid misreading in the ecu? also, what is the best air intake/cold air sistem to complement a sport exhaust?..and finally 
what's the best decatted sport exhaust sistem fm headers to mufflers? what abt getting rid of the mufflers altogether? would some backpressure needed? thanks a lot

LG's headers come with cats or offroads, and would offer the best performance. I don't think you need mufflers for backpressure, but the car will be loud without any exhaust.
You can have the codes for your rear O2's tuned out if you have problems, but you'll likely need them re-instated to get an inspection.

The LGs offer superior mid-range power (excellent for road racing and general driving), Kooks are a drag profile headers and off superior high-rpm power for Drag Racing, Dynatechs are a comprimise between LGs and Kooks for mid-range and high rpm power. I have not seen enough dynos on the other brands form an opinion.
