Hopefully someone can help. I have a stock 2000 Z and I would like to add some more HP, but dont know much about the LS1 since I just got the car. Getting the work done is not a problem. I would just like to know where to start. If you could give rough estimate on prices for mods and even part #s would help as well . Any and all help would be appreciated.

I'd start with exhaust just to get your car sounding right, the extra 15-20 hp you'll get is just a bonus imo.

Any recommendations on exhaust?

Depends on what you want, go to ls1sounds.com and listen to as many as you can. Some of the clips are kind of crappy, but you'll get an idea of how each setup sounds.

you could also start off with a lid, easy can do it in your garage at home, most of the vendors carry them>>>>>>
When you find an exhaust you like, do the whole thing (headers, ory/catted y, the catback).
You could even send your tb out to get it ported or do it yourself if your that kind of person

almsot forgot, search for free mods and do those.

You can find some good tips on where to start in the "Mod Guide: Induction and Exhaust" thread that has been stickied at the top of the "External Engine" forum.

Start off with a lid and SFC's (subframe connectors). Then go full exhaust. LS1 Sounds is a great site to listen to the perfect sound your looking for in your exhaust. Some people recommend true duals, some recommend a regular cat-back. I'm getting the TSP Rumbler without tips and getting some stainless steel Z28 tips to compliment it with. I'm also getting a TSP catted y-pipe to compliment my exhaust I'm getting and Pacesetter headers I already have. I'm also going to get an electric cutout as well. This is what I'm getting, so I thought I'd pass it on to you to see if you like it as well.

Also, if you have an A4 (automatic), I'd recommend a torque convertor down the road too. Hope this helps.

I have a 2000 T/A LS1, and here's what I did, plus what's going in next...

Basically, it's all about getting air into and then out of the engine. If you lay the proper ground work you'll see the biggest gains when you do major mods later, plus you'll pick a ton of HP now with teh right bolt-ons.
