Ok, I'm getting ready to get an entire new exhaust sytem and I'm making a list of things I need for it. So far this is what I have on the list, if anything is missing, wrong, or you see anything you want to comment on it would help a lot, this is my first fairly big mod on a car. I decided on the race version headers too, just to let you know.

Pacesetter Coated LT's - $375 - LS1Speed.com
o2 Extensions - $36 - LS1Speed.com (I think I heard someone say the Pacesetters came with these, is that true?)
TSP ORY - ~$155 - Texas-Speed.com
Anti Seize Lubrication - $? - ?
EGR Block-off - $? - ?
1 3/8" Expansion Plug/Freeze Plug - $3 - Pep Boys
RTV Gasket Maker (Sealant) - $? - ?
Hooker Catback - $340 - LS1Speed.com

Did I forget anything? Do I need anything else, or do I not need any of those things? Also, for the things I have a ? for, do you know where I can get them and for how much?

Thanks!

yes pacesetters come with the extensions. list looks good man. Should sound badass. You will love putting in all that hard work then firing it up man its a great feeling. Maybe throw a cutout in it too? Thats ur decision thou some guys do it thats why i said it.

Pacesetters come with wire splices and some heat shield tubing, if you feel comfortable with wiring you can DIY
If you're getting race headers you shouldn't need an egr blockoff plate (they come with no emissions fittings)
Anti sieze should be about $3 for a tube
Why do you need the gasket sealant?
FWIW you may want to think about getting new stock metal gaskets, about $20 from a dealer (or SDPC)

If your going with Pacesetters I would just buy the TSP combo which is Pacesetters LT with the TSP ORY I believe its cheaper that way, also Speed Inc. (ls1speed.com) has the EGR block off plates and plug for the intake so just buy it from there with your catback. Anti-seize and RTV gasket maker any autoparts store has them I think even Wal-Mart has that stuff. Just my .02

If you havent done it recently, I would change your plugs and wires while you are in there.

Why would I change the spark plugs and wires? If it's because of age or miles, the car only has 20k on it, but if its for some other reason, what is it?

I was talking about getting the block-off plate for the place the hose goes in just behind the throttle body, the very end of the system. If it isn't called that then what is it called?, I must be confused... No big surprise there, like I said, this is my first mod other than a lid to any car. lol

The gasket sealant was also for the place the tube used to be. I read this: http://www.ls1camaro.net/sections.ph...ticle&artid=70 and thought I needed it. Do I not?

Ok, so the extensions that pacesetter gives you arent just plug the stock ones in to one end and plug the other end in where they are supposed to be? I think I'll still get some normal extensions then.

Oh and what would I use the new gaskets for?

Thanks for all the help guys


Edit: Oops, I just read that article again and I can see why I don't need the EGR block-off plate and sealant, I read it wrong . Thats takes care of that question, thanks.

Reason to change the plugs & wires is because you've got access to them being the manifolds are out of the way. Besides, preventive maintence normally doesnt hurt.

Not to be step on a mods' toes, but your sig is 100 pixels too wide and 110 pixels too tall (500x150 is the max). Just resize it and it'll be fine.

Ok, I'll get it changed. Ok, so this is my current list. Now is there anything I need to add/change/remove?

Pacesetters - $375 shipped
o2 ext. x2 - $36 shipped
Anti Seize - ~$3
1 3/8" Exp. Plug/Freeze Plug ~$3
TSP ORY - $155 shipped
Hooker Catback - $340 shipped

Should total somewhere around $915 for everything, and sound a whole lot better . Hopefully get some performance out of it too. If i was going to get a tune, but was also planning on doing some other things like LS6/LSX intake, Ported TB, UD Pulleys, and maybe some other stuff, but nothing is planned yet, should I wait till after that to do my tune? I'm pretty sure I won't do any of that until next year sometime, so would Speed Inc. charge the entire $450 again for a tune after that stuff or would it maybe be less for a "re-tune" or something?

Alright, well I just ordered the Hooker and the o2 exts. from Speed Inc. I am going to have to do 2 separate orders from them otherwise it weighs to much for the shipping to be free . lol. Anyway, before i put my 2nd one in, is there anything I'm forgetting, or something I don't need to get?

Is the anti seze known as anything else? Cause I went to Pep Boys and looked at all of their lubrcants and didn't see anything that said anti-seize on it. Also, the biggest plug they had was 1/2", is there anywhere that will have a 1 3/8" plug for sure?

Look at another parts store, it's called anti sieze, or never sieze (made by permatex) tell them it's for putting aluminum bolts in steel (they might be smart, tho it's doubtful)
As for the plug, OReillys had some as did auto zone in the HELP! section (and if they got them in this little podunk town, they should be readily available in a larger town)
Looks like you got most of it, I'd get a set of GM gaskets and a set of sparkplugs, just in case (better to have and not need than need and not have) Oh and possibly some plug wires (same reason)
