You'll have to get a custom y pipe, and the installer should have no problem, either have it welded up to it or put a flange on it. Roughly 15 more hp.

to get a full effect of the headers u need to get a much better flowing muffler then stock . . get the full exhaust done and you will see a nice gain

I've got my LT's connected to my stock exhaust. I love the sound it gives and have been complimented by others on the sound but it is a huge restriction. Get a hooker cat back. It will compliment the LT's nicely.

why not keep the stock exhaust and just put in an electric cutout?

pros-

-keeps it sounding more stock
-push a button loud
-push a button quiet
-cheaper than most cat backs


cons-

-i dont care if there are any, the pro's are too cool for me!

I bet you wipe after you pee! Get some dumps before the rear axle and call it a day. Enjoy people with there windows down grit their teeth when you fly by at WOT!!

i have hooker long tubes hooked to my stock exhaust... the sound is quiet as hell, but sounds really good... performance increase a bit, but not as much as it would have with a catback or dual setup (which is whats next).... i went from a 14.5@98 to a 14.1@100 roughly... and now i run a 13.7@101 (gears... )

so there is a performance increase but not as much as you want im sure... so go for a catback or a dual exhaust setup....
