My vote is for Pacesetter LT headers, can't believe the last two are the only header suggestions! If you have enough left over after that, ****** up a used lid off Ebay.

Two options:
The Cautious Driver (what i should have done...
:
-Subframe connectors (130$ boxed or tubular...id get boxed)
-stop there and get your cool lookn tint
-or keep going...dont get DR's...bad idea. think new rear end (12bolt) b4 you ever think of DR's.i learned that the hard way.
-make sure everything on your car is in good condition, so you dont get slammed with a million things at one time like i did, ie new engine, small cam, heads, broken rear end, dead window motors, bad coolant sensor, burnt light bulbs, cracked rotors, worn out tires, lol and the list goes on. just be thinkn about that. seriously tho. id go with the subframe connectors, tint, cutout and lid if you have the money left over to do so. Don't put DR's on your car!!!! It's a bad habit that will bite you in your *** one day. One day when you get off work early and decide you want to go to the beach but when when you floor it like normal, your car starts to hum and vibrate in 5th gear!!! haha. ya. i remember that fun day at the drag strip....i beat a c5 corvette. but it cost me $425, not the $20 i spent that day.
The Drag Racer Mentality (ME
):
-Get a cutout (30 plus 20 or so for install) and a new lid if you so desire (100 new, 40 or so used)
-!FRA smooth bellow!!! lol it doesnt do crap but it looks better than the stock plastic accordion bellow ($5 at your local hardware store! 3.5inch dia.)
-!FRA tear out all the unnecessary plastic guards that are in the front of your car near the radiator (its free!!!) <
at least 10hp lol
-keep whatever you have left over for a trip to the nearest 1/4 strip to see what you run stock before you put your new goodies on, or simply save that leftover money and get those pacesetter headers and TSP offroad y pipe for a combo price of 500$. (texas-speed.com)
-finally. dont be fooled. dont get a ported tb unless you have the lid to go with it!! 90mm
or, just for grins... exterior. pick up some clr corners for like 30$ off ebay. rear fill in if you so desire, new tips if you dont like your stockers. i had cow bells on my camaro, i dont know what you have on your bird, but you can get tips for 30 or 40$. hope this helps. later man

so what you goin with, personally id do lid, smooth bellow, and get a ported throttle body. And get some plugs and wires.
SLP lid for $102
SLP smooth bellow for $69.95
Shaner S3 ported polished TB $159.99 there are cheaper ones and there is a way you can set it up to where you dont have to pay the $150 core charge. Just give him a call or s2performance.com His name on here is shaner
NGK TR-55 $15.99 for 8 of them.
Comes to $348.88
Then save for some msd 8.5 $59.99
I would say get a k&n but some people say the paper filters do just as good. Eventuall I would say get one.
