I'd go with longtubes,cut-out on the i-pipe,and magnaflow cat-back. You can learn alot from this sticky...http://ls1tech.com/forums/new-ls1-owners-newbie-tech/361959-so-you-wanna-fast.html

BBK lt/ory, they fit so easy and it was my 1st time, i decided to use a dumped muffler (dynomax) to save weight and avoid any rubbing issues around the axle. It isn't a very refined sound but it is loud and deep, and I am happy with it.

Read the link in my sig.

Do it right; 1 7/8ths headers and dual exhaust or a 4" cat back.

M6? If not stall should be first mod for an auto. Plan ahead for which cam you want...you don't want to have to buy two stalls.

it is a m6 car, ive only had this car for a couple days and im already in love! ive owned two of these cars previously but this one is by far the superior, im thinking it may be a factory freak. i had a 2000 camaro ss first it was a cam car and auto, it feels like my new cars pulls just as hard if not harder on the highway and all i have is a pretty shity mufler shop cat back on it so far. (the exhaust is temperary until i figure out what i want exactly). im leaning towards longtubes into a 3 inch x pipe dumped before the axle, this is a weekend car for me so im not to woried about it being to loud. ill probly put e cutouts after the xpipe and some magnaflows behind em really not sure yet. still in the process of reading all the info, what i really dont want is a raspy sound

tick master cylinder. i usually start with new plugs, wires, and gaskets. clean up the throttle body, change the oil, filter, fuel filter, detail it, and then begin mods.

first m6 mod, tick master cylinder, and a better clutch.

or if you gotta have exhaust. slp loudmouth, and ditch the loudmouth shotgun muffler and buy a dyno max. you will love it. then maybe some gears. always check the torque arm bolts for drips. pinion seals on the 10 bolt are known to have their issues. it will always leak, eventually. especially with drag radials, a stall and a 60 foot lol.


hopefully you can do all the work. save a ton
