Best header Exhaust combos

Currently in the market for an upgrade for my zl1 exhaust. What are everyone's thoughts. There is alot out there. ARH full system, or ARH headers with Borla or AWE. Dont really like that raspy sound like it deep and mean...but calm while cruising with minimal to no drone

I have headers with the AWE resonated Touring catback, I think it sounds really good and everyone who has heard it in person loves it.

The headers are very similar....ARH...Stainless Works etc. Exhaust wise I played around with a few different setups and finally settled
on Stainless Works longtubes with Corsa Xtreme catback. The car sounds fantastic with zero drone. It cruises pretty quiet but when you get on it....you will split ear drums.

I have had great experience with BBK Long Tube Headers and Magnaflow cat back exhaust system. But i guess it comes down to what money you want to spend. Magnaflow has a great sound. not too loud

Cost is not much of a concern I wanted the deepest most American Muscle without drone. I like that DEEP throaty tone. I am between ARH pure thunder full system or Corsa Sport with the double helix.
The Corsa boasts the no drone. The Pure Thunder is deeper some say no drone and some say the ARH exhaust drones. I do plan on using high flow cats.

I’m kicking around the idea of using an AFE axleback in conjunction with Borla resonators. The axle back has an H-pipe to reduce the rasp and the resonator should tone down the high pitched notes.

If you don’t care about keeping a stealth mode, these sound pretty deep to me:

^ I was like dam that first video looks familiar lol

But it all depends on how loud you want to be. I’m personally switching to TSP Catless Headers and AWE Touring Exhaust. It’s going to be on louder side but I don’t mind ( I think)

Arh 2” catless into borla atak npp... sound awsome! No drone and quite in touring mode and loud in sport and track. But even in sport and track in not that loud at low rpm cruising

So the last time I did headers was on my '69 Z/28. Not very difficult to do myself in those days with not much under the hood. No way I would go near that on this car. What are you guys paying for installation of LT's? Thanks.

Mine was $1300 for header install, E85 kit install and tune.
