Default Headers and Catted Y or LS6 style intake and UDP

I have 700-800 left I want to spend on my vehicle and wanted to know what everyone thinks I should buy, I recently purchased the LM1 exhaust and MTI clear lid with K&N filter, ported my throttle body, and did the bump stop mod, which of the above should I buy next, any other ideas and specific products would be great

Headers are the single best bang-for-the-buck improvement. I voted headers and catted ypipe, if you can install yourself.

If you're not going to install yourself, get the intake and UDP, installation should come in under what you have total.

Personally I would save up for duals, like the Bassani True Dual kit. You can sell the catback you just bought, and add headers later.

Go for the Headers and catted Y..you will get more of a power increase compared to an UDP and LS6 intake

You will the most performance gain out of a set of long tubes. You wont see a big gain going to an LS6 intake unless you have performance cam and or heads.

Thanks for your help, so far it sounds like I should go for some longtubes and y, I was looking on texas speed and they've got a pacesetter headers and catted y system for 700, anybody used this system or know someone who has? If so how is the fitment and performance? and keep the opinions coming I'm pretty knew to the whole modding scene I've had catbacks and intakes on my other car's but always stopped there, the bug has bit me with this car and all i want to do is

I put some pace setter and y pipe long tube race, it eliminates the EGR, from texas speed and it is a great deal of improvement on HP and Sound, IT only cost me Like 580 with the oxygen sensor extensions and it also eliminates two oxygen sensors from front, my cousin put in the same ones with the EGR connection still in them and also changed it to an X pipe with straight pipe and cutouts he got more Hp then mine or so we think but it certainly does sound better than mine. Hope this info helps.

I'm guessing he made the decision already since this thread is 1.5 years old!
