Very good to know. I run a catless downpipe on another of my cars as it's just a race car, and the smell is abhorrent.

On my last LS2 GTO, the non-catted smell was enough to make you not want to drive it. Glad to hear these LT1s are so much different in that regard.

Sorry for all the newb questions.

Ok I'm gonna go ahead and get all this ordered tonight.

Final Newb question:

So basically what I'm looking at is this http://www.c7corvettepartsandaccesso...-8-C7778NC.htm

PLUS an off road x-pipe? Am I going to have to run 02 simulators?
