Damn Glad To Be Here A few weeks ago I brought a bright red 2002 Z-28 MT with about 14,000 miles and I haven't stopped smiling since the first time I drove her. This is my first V-8 RWD and I can easily see myself keeping her for 100,000+ miles.
I am planning on getting a full exhaust done as my first major mod. My current thinking is QTP longpipe headers and a QTP ORY with a Magnaflow exhaust. I am thinking of getting an electric cutout too. I heard this setup and I like the way it sounds. All of this work will be followed by a tune.
I am also replacing the stock Monsoon stereo with an Alpine 9857. I am still kicking around the rest of my new system, but I most likely going to just use a pair of 6.5's and a single subwoofer.
Right now I will most likely use Boston Acoustics Z6s and an ID 12'' sub. I am not certain about the amps but I will figure that out later.
Anyway, thanks for the informative posts and the great ideas that I plan on stealing.

strongly recommend against the QTP y-pipe. QTP y-pipes have a long history of fitting like garbage and leaving you with 2" of ground clearance even on stock ride height cars. if you go QTP longtubes, you're better off getting true duals or getting a custom fabbed y-pipe. if you're against that, you're better off getting kooks longtubes and y-pipe. not only is kooks' y-pipe stainless, it has a long history of fitting excellent, in some cases gaining clearance over stock. at the ridiculous price of QTP y-pipes, you'll be able to get the kooks system for nearly the same price, except kooks is all stainless where QTP has an alumium y-pipe.
EDIT: just noticed thunderracing.com is having a crazy labor day sale on ALL headers. the prices are slashed like mad. if you're interested in QTP's or kooks, now's DEFINITELY the time to get them! the same ends monday (9/4/06).
