Depends on taste and how loud you want the car... cat backs dont give any real power gains.
I kept it stock from the cat back, with the long tube headers and f/f cats....sounds awesome at wot, nice and quiet during regular driving............

B&B's are fine if your into loud. Loud for the sake of loud is just noise. It doesn't mean great performance. I choose Magnaflows, they sound great at WOT,and there is very little cabin noise at highway speeds. Meaning you can have a conversation or listen to your music unabated.

Bullets and headers are not loud. They are loud as hell. You may kill elderly folk with pacemakers, small fury animals will keel over from shock. Seriously that is a really loud combo. About as loud as you can get and still have something hanging on to the end of your headers. If your into it then no problem but many find it too much of a good thing. If you havent gone to some GTGs to check out the different options I would consider doing so because you may be suprised by what these (any exhaust) sound like real world. I got Corsa sports for instance back when they came out and the word was they were really loud. When I heard em in person I was suprised by how mellow they actually were. No substitue for hearing it in person.

I have B&B Bullets on my car, I will be ordering Kooks long tube headers this winter. I have not heard any Corvettes with Bullets and headers in person, but I know they will be loud which is what I want.

I have Corsa Sports behind LG Pro long tubes and the Lingenfelter 403 package motor and like them tremendously. My setup is loud....a deep muscle car sound but at WOT it blasts (my oldest son says they "trumpet"). They're not overly loud when cruising and I have absolutely no drone.
