Find someone with headers and a full exhaust.

I heard Don's Vette with long tubes, off road pipes and a Z06 catback. You really couldn't tell he had headers installed, it was dead quiet.

I would def consider keeping the cat's. It just make the inspection sticker thing 100x easier if you dont have a reliable connection.

Definately get headers and some good cats. It is mostly the catback and exemption of cats that will make the car loud. If your concerned about noise. Keep the stock catback and get a cutout.

Thumbs up

Headers with stock cat back for sure, the stock exhaust sounds pretty good and isn't very restrictive at all when compared to the aftermarket ones available.

I know Tom,you gave my boss a very good price...I might take his 1 3/4 because now he's talking 1 7/8th for a 402 LS2 powered GTO

Matt at TTP gave me a great price on Kooks too

Still I can get a sick deal on the HF catted pipe kit and Magna catback and if its really worth 12RW I might try it...

I've been talking to Patrick G. and TR about manifold (Cheater) cams

NO! Just have fun with the car the way it is. Pretty soon you are going to end up with a car just like the one you got out of. GROW UP and enjoy what you've got! If money were an issue for me, you can bet I wouldn't be dumping it into a stupid car. You've got a great car right now, don't mess with it anymore. I know this sounds a bit harsh but it is meant with good intentions.

JS-

How much you want to bet that you pull the valve covers and the front cover (as in Cam & Springs) and fortify the rear end?
