I like em and wanted to do something different than TTM's, TTII's, ZO6's, ZR1's
If I ever have the money for headers I will do the !EGR and !AIR mods, either that or I will just yank em out and get some block off plates for the exahust manifolds. My LS6 manifold has provisions for the EGR so I decided to keep it, If I get rid of it then I think I'll go with a manifold without the provisions to clean things up. As far as the STB I'm not sure whether i want to keep it red and paint my coilpacks red, or if i want to paint it black to match the rest of the engine bay, decisions, decisions

Money is kind of an issue as I'm trying to save some money on my car while paying for part of my college expenses, I guess I'll have to see how much money I can make this summer then decide what I'm going to do about a hood and spoiler. i'm trying to put my money into the necessities right now at 70k miles I need to make sure I keep the general maintenance up to date. Need to do plugs, wires, fuel filter, clean my air filter, change my oil, then looking at springs and shocks because the stockers are worn out, and brakes aren't too far away either. After some of those things then I can think more about "luxuries" per say.

Update Update: Today I got the plugs and wires installed along with changing the oil, fuel filter, and cleaning the air filter. New pics of the engine bay coming soon.
I vote you get that grill put back on after repainting it, it looked good

That's one of the things (besides money) that is going to keep me from lowering mine. There are enough bad roads around here and steep enough angles that I don't want to scrape anything more than I do already. Air dam looks like I took a coarse belt sander to the edge of it.
