Great choice to start with! It will sound amazing, and these cars really open up with long tubes.
Ordered parts from AM this week! I'm putting the car up on stands and getting to the exhaust first. At 77K miles I'm expecting the pulling the manifolds should be a bitch, can't wait.
Nice!!!! Can't wait for a video of the new set up...what cat-back are you going with?
Here's my old set up with BBK LTs, BKK o/r H, and old flowmaster 40s - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHf0JqMFXgE

so did you just recently buy the car from the original owner?
or are you the original owner and now you are upgrading after 70k? because if so you have alot of willpower! lol
either way, best of luck and enjoy. sounds like some solid mods to start with :beer:

Original owner :-D. Growing up in Detroit (or anywhere I guess) no matter how much you add, there's gonna be a someone quicker. I like the cars lines, and high winding aluminum 4v. She's been good to me so I'm returning the favor, lol!

More or less the next things on my list, except I'll be going o/r X-Pipe. One thing looking forward is that if you havent replaced your clutch in a while, you might want to do that while installing the LT's. The BBK's require removing the passenger header to drop the tranny. If the cluch is already more or less due for replacement, might as well do it now.
+1 on the catback inquiry
Need to put a centri on her, and let her eat!
Heard that. Thanks for the heads up. I just had the clutch and FW done, so I'm good to go. I'll get a baseline sound clip video before I replace my exhaust. a) Stock b) open headers c) headers with o/r H d) headers, H, and stock mufflers and tailpipes e)all that + new Bama tune. Should be a fun fathers day weekend.
she should breathe nicely and cheers to next 70k
Dynamite. Treat her right and she'll treat you right. It's a love/love relationship. lol
Good luck with the headers and keep us posted!
Do you like those flowmaster 10's? Are they really that much louder?
Let me know who the BBK's are!
How's it going so far? Are you doing this project in your own garage on jack stands? Are you wishing you would have just paid someone 400 bucks to have done it yet? lol
I have some mid length headers I need installed and not sure if I'm going to attempt it myself or not.

This is my garage, my tools, my foul mouth, & my blood 
I'm doing it on my own time which is way more $$$ the $400.
I bought a 21MM 1/2 socket and wrench at lunch, got the motor raised and a few passgr manifold bots out. Time for a break to grill out and enjoy father's day and a few beers.

I like this, OP.. You should start taking pics, I don't know anyone who has put headers on themselves..
Here's the stock exhaust from a cam on the rear bumper cover.
