Basically, after many reads about this topic I'm just not sure if getting an after market catback exhaust is worth the money ($900-1200, either SW or Borla) or if that could go to something else power mod wise. Since there seems to be no apparent performance gains out of them and aftermarket is mainly bought for sound purposes. Now I know people buy AM to get better sound and to eliminate the mufflers (which I agree are huge and could be weight savers) so would just keeping the OEM exhaust with a possible muffler delete be a better course of action than an AM exhaust. As my sig says I only have a CAI right now and looking to get the headers mentioned above... unsure of supercharger/turbo (that would be at least 1-2 yrs away anyway) maybe a possible mild cam in the near future since it's a DD. Also, my friends who have a TBSS and a 70 chevelle think I should do a safe shot of 100-125 of nitrous(though I don't know much about it). I think my goal is to be somewhere between 450-500rwhp for awhile before I think about SC/TT.
I know that's alot to ponder but just want to here some thoughts from some experts

+1 for the header choice. I will give you +2 if you get the Atak Catback

That's what I did when I was contemplating between a muffler delete or an aftermarket exhaust. For me personally, I did not like the sound of the muffler delete. Yes, it was louder than stock, but I still felt there was something missing. After listening to several cars, I decided to go with Borla ATAK. I was happy with my choice. Good luck with your decision!
