Yeah shop around for a used magnaflow catback, I wouldn't pay the new prices either, I think there is one in the classifieds right now too.
You might as well do new plugs/wires while your down in there, save some time and hassle down the road. Also go with an ls6 intake if you don't have one, that is the best bang for the buck mod. You could probably do everything for $1000 (including intake) and install yourself or with some buddies. I picked up over 50hp with the above mods and good tune.

Boltons and a tune you will deffinetally make a big gain. You will feel it via sotp. Even on stock car a tune will do wonders. Get some boltons and a tune, you'll be happy you did.
Keep an eye out for sponsor sales.

for sure. keep in mind about the long term mods you are thinking about in the future too, do it in stages, but do it once and right the first time. make sure one the early mods will accomidate the later ones down the road

Well guys, I bit the bullet. The WS6store gave me a real good price on some Jet hot stainless LT's, an ORY, and a Magnaflow catback. I'm pretty excited but I'm already spending more money than I wanted to and I'm thinking to myself, well crap I should just go ahead and get the LS6 intake and a dyno tune while I'm at it. Might do that too but not sure yet. I bet that would make a huge difference going from a basically stock car to a full bolt-on and tuned car. I just hope my stock clutch and rear end will hold up ok. At least for another year or so.
Thanks for everyone's thoughts, advice, and opinions.
Should have the stuff on sometime next wk.
