Welcome
No mod suggestions, however to help you avoid confusion as you mod, 1LT is trim/feature level for your '19 GS, LT1 is the engine designation.

I'm running the Kooks 1 7/8" with highflow green cats. The fit and finish has been great and the sound with the NPP in track mode is fantastic. With that said, I would also consider American Racing Headers as well as I don't think you can go wrong with either. Both are certainly more pricey than some of the other offerings, but I haven't heard of too many gripes about the Kooks or ARH offerings from this community.

Midpipe will need to be different if partnering with LT headers, the oem bolt-on replacement pipes will not work with LT's just as an fyi

Spotters guide method:

NPP: narrow gaps between all 4 tips are equidistant.
non-NPP: gap between center 2 tips is slightly wider than the others.
