Ok, I just got a credit card, I would like to spend some money on my car since I haven't been able to.
Currents mods are in sig.
I want to put LT's on it for sure, I would like your opinion.
A) Pacesetter's (coated) around 400
B) Hooker's (coated) around 400
C) LPP's (stainless) around 500
Now should I get race or air/egr? No emissions in MI.
I have a energy suspension (horrible vibration noise I hate it) poly trans mount, do I do poly engine mounts?
Now for suspension, Adj panhard bar? what is it? do I need one? Should I do SFC's first? How about lower control arms?
This is my DD in the summer, but I would like to go to the track at least once a month.
Thanks!

i hear to never put poly mounts on the tranny, but to put them on the motor for y pipe issues. im going to be going with, lpp headers/y with a spintech muffler, putting the motor mounts on, msd wires, and ngk plugs, all at the same time.

check ls1sounds.com and :search:
you'll find the different opinions on all those LTs a million times over.

Either one of those headers would be a good choice along with an ORY. Since your there go ahead and put poly motor mounts in and ditch the poly trans mount. Since your lowered, an adjustable panhard rod will help center your rear better. Lower control arms will knock down any wheel hop issues and subframe connectors will make the car feel so much better cause they virtually eliminate chassis flex.

I have checked ls1sounds, that has nothing to do with my question, different brand headers aren't going to give me a different sound. Im wondering personal opinion.

out of those choices i would do LPP fo sho. Mild steel goes away so quickly. and if worse comes to worse and you have to drive during the winter, thats gonna be a major problem. i always say stainless

i meant try a search on the opinions of those headers, there must be at least a dozen different opinionated poles on here.

there's another one. not really trying to sound like a dick or anything, but everything you asked about has been posted inside and out ten times over. it's like no one bother's with the search tool anymore. i don't know a whole hell of a lot about cars, but i do 99% of the work on my car cuz i use that simple function.
