LT's + NPP = Amazing!!!
Picked up my car from Doug Rippie Motorsports yesterday. They installed LG Stepped Super Pro's, a ported intake manifold from Ben and Weapon X, and 170 degree T-stat. DRM's Dynojet is known as a heart breaker, my car did 434/434 (they did not baseline so don't know the exact gains but I am guessing 40 whp +-). I will post dyno sheet later.
What blew me away was the sound of the LT's. Holy shxt, it screams. Idle and cruise speed has a nice deep sound. And when you run the RPM's up it wails hard! And I came from a cammed C6Z with ARH LT's and Corsa Sports. That car sounded really good as well, but nothing like the NPP's. I have the fused pulled so open all the time, and damn, I can't believe how good it sounds.
Anyone on the fence doing headers, I say go for it. Car pulls much harder, and sounds bad to the bone. Kudo's to Todd at DRM, he is the Man!!!

I went with cats. I asked this question a couple of months ago: who is running without cats: (should be able to find it with a search): everyone who replied said they would go with cats if they could do it over again because of the smell.
LG tested their headers with and without their race cats, and the gains going catless were almost non-existent. Plus, my car sounds mean as hell with cats. Not even kidding, when you run the RPM's it screams bloody murder
