New LS1 Owners - Newbie Tech - Getting my first t/a soon

Owned my V6 for a few months and have got the deal worked out. Other than a lid and maybe CAI if I feel like wasting the money what do most of you guys recommend? Cat-back then headers with an ORY? My plans for now is 1.lid, 2. cat-back, 3. headers, 4. ls6 intake, then 5 being true duals. Thinking about just skimping on the cat-back and saving for the headers and t/d's so they are on at the same time...thoughts?
a few pics of the car, im pretty sure the tips dont look stock? Not too familiar with the stock look of them, but i thought the stock tips were oval like?

Thankfully it comes with the rims, they are asking 8459, it has 78,456 on the clock and seems to be unmolested, trying to get them down to 8k :secret2: even though its a great deal as is. :eyes: A4.

congrats man :) looking clean. you are going on the right way :) but if you want to end up with true duals then skip the catback. collect everything you need then start your build. good luck, enjoy it :)

congrats. yep, if you're going with true duals... skip the catback. Put the money you won't be spendin on a catback towards a tune :)

you have a good plan worked out.

Just picked up my first t/a last weekend. 2000 M6 red. I'm doin true Duals also it already has an slp lid. Other than that and the hurst short throw it's stock. Its def a fun car. Enjoy.

I'm just glad over the past months I've spent more time reading and keeping my mouth shut soaking up as much as I can before I go and do something stupid. I.e. buying catback 1 week before installing true duals..had a buddy do that on his V6 :bang: But thanks for the peace of mind guys, and for the tune, are mail orders, i.e. diablo and hypertech worth the money? The one area I havent spent much time is tuning and don't feel comfortable getting a tuner for my laptop and hooking my laptop up to my car and end up doing something stupid, a shop near me does dyno tuning, but I'd rather save for the (due to the cost) after im getting near the end of all my modding. :eyes: Thanks again guys.

looks clean good luck!

Check out Pacesetter headers. They are very affordable and will give your car some added hp!

Nothing wrong with a a4! I'm grown to like mine. Looks like a nice TA and pretty good deal.

I wouldn't do a handheld. A mail order tune isn't too bad if you don't plan on doing any more than bolt-ons. I see you are in Tipp City. I know of a few places around here that could do a dyno tune for you

The only one I know of would be Warrior Racing in Tipp City, the had a sign saying dyno tuning availible, but it seems everytime I go into their shop they have the "we know all, no matter what you are wrong" attitude. First time I went in the guy tried telling me my V6 was really a 4.0 not a 3.8 and the LS1 was a 6.0? Not too comfortable with them now. Shoot me a pm about the other places, shoot maybe we could even meet up at a cruise in soon, don't know too many guys around here with decent non-rice cars.
