Well right now, im tight on funds im in the Air Force and only and E-3 and have 700 in bills a month I bought an 05 Gixxer 600 and the insurance is more than the payment and insurace on my TA.......haha but once I get that figured out.

I would do basic bolt ons but the exhaust first its way, way too quiet... im thinking GMMG but its pricey but it sounds hella good any suggestions on a cheaper on?

And maybe a little NAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWSSSSSSS down the road haha.....

O yeah and some TT2's

I know how you are feeling man, I remember the day I drove my NBM WS6 back to Arkansas from Dallas when I bought it almost two years ago. I drove by every glass window'd building I could find just to see my reflection.

Suggestions:
Don't bother with TT2's, if you had a regular T/A I would say go for it but the 98-00 WS6 wheels are balling.

Exhaust - Skip that raspy, junk y-pipe setup and go with TD's w/Magnaflow bullets exiting through Corsa Clone tips [if you can find any as noone sells them anymore] ... Magnaflow TD's are the best sounding exhaust on an LS1 car. Period.

Awesome car man!! Congrats on the purchase! I gotta say, the only reason I haven't gotten new rims are because i love the look of the polished aluminum WS6 rims for the 98-00. Just lower it a bit, and you'll be set. As for exhaust, if you are only getting a catback right now and want loud, go with the Loudmouth. I love mine. I've got LT's and the LM1 and it sounds like the devil coming down the street haha.

Now i think a change of your sig is in order!!

Yeah I was so scared when I drove it home 2hrs on I-80...crazy *** california drivers.

It was funny the other night an LT1 Camaro tried to run me he was mad on it going through the gears, burning his tires off and I was barely pressing the gas keeping right beside him.....I was like ROFL

As for the exhaust I want cost effective so the duals would be nice but probably exspensive?

Haha yeah the LS1 is a beast of an engine! Sounds like you're having a good time with it. True duals aren't cheap. Reason for this is because you must have headers, along with the midpipes, and then of course the mufflers. You'll be looking above the 1k pricetag easily.

i had a full exhaust(Lt's,Y, catback) Geared(3.73's), intake, and madZ28 tuned '96 Z28 LT1 M6 and from a dig i could take a lid, catback LS1 until 3rd gear then they went by me and pulled away. From a Roll it was pretty bad for me. The LS1 is a much stronger motor up top especially. As much as i LOVED my LT1 and miss the torque that thing had it's the truth

Nice car. When I first bought mine, the first month, I had it probably 4 days. I got it some new paint. Then I was doing something to it and left the t-tops on the car but no locked in. Those flew off, shattered and messed up the paint on the spoiler.... Don't do what I did.

My first mod was a lid. Took off from there.

LOL that reminds me of the trip back from Dallas the day I bought it. I drove that 300+ miles with the t-tops on the car but unlatched. I had no idea how the t-tops worked back then. I was very lucky.

Well I think I found my first mod a lid, bellow and K&N. But I want to find out who makes the Lid first, all the ad says is its a clear lid.

Also what about removing the MAF screen, I searched and it seems like theres not a real straight answer for it? Will it mess with SMOG testing?
