Just ordered Honker.. Exhaust+Headers question
I've owned my C6 Manual Vert since August of 06' and the Honker will be my FIRST mod.
I only plan on doing the following: CAI, Headers, Exhaust, Short Throw. Also maybe some synthetic trans fluid and that car insulation kit.
So with that said I plan on using 1 3/4 headers. I would like a quiet drone free cruising speed for the wife and 2 year old so I think I'm going with Corsa touring exhaust.
Headers I'm undecided on but I'm leaning towards Kooks LT with the off road pipe.
Does this combo sound like it will be too loud with the off road pipe? Should I get the catted x pipe?
I want the most horsepower with the least drone at cruising, but still want it to sound like it's got some nuts at WOT.

Anyone know how much I can expect in HP and TQ with the honker, headers and stock exhaust and a tune.
My buddy just got his 383 stroker for his 88 camaro vert, it's got 440 tq at the fly and I am a little worried that just headers, tune and stock exhaust would be a little too close of a match.

Also I'm going to order Cory Harris ported TB and intake manifold; it seems some other's have great results with his work.
