I’ve got the exact same setup as Zoh6 and it sounds AWEsome ()!! 2” Kooks -> GESI Cats -> AWE resonators-> AWE Touring. The result is a both deep and loud, but not obnoxiously loud, which was one of my concerns going with LT headers. I added the G-Sport GESI cats because of the additional sound dampening as well as odor control. I also purchased & have (on the shelf) the Jones X pipe muffler that was referenced by many as helping keep the “loudness” from getting out of hand. For now, I’m leaving it on the shelf as the Z sounds phenomenal. IMO, If you’re considering a true muscle car sound, this setup is spot on.

Prior to this, I had stock headers -> stock primary cats -> AWE Performance Link Pipes (secondary cat delete) -> AWE resonators-> AWE Touring. TBH, it sounded outstanding as well. Louder and deeper than stock for sure. If you have / choose this option, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed at all. Overall, AWE has been a solid improvement. Keep us updated and good luck!!
