Question Where would you Start??..Completely stk, Need Opinions!

Well I have had the car in the garage a few months now and started in the opposite direction...the suspension. We just got done doing all the good stuff, subframes, LCA's, LCA Brackets, Panhard...also coming soon is a torque arm.

But this leaves my exhaust and engine completely stock right now on my 00 t/a!?! I have the basics like air cleaner, lid and a bellow but I don't know where to go next? I know there is so many possibilitys and I have read up on alot but just don't know where to begin.

Exhaust I am debating over GMMG or Corsa? But now I decided to go with Long tubes so whats the best combination. Just looking for some opions for me and anyone else if my sistuation who is ready to spend some $$

Or if you could do it all over again what would you do different??

sounds like you have an awesome car on your hands ya luck bastad . I'd go with the GMMG, ported throttle body, ignition componets(wires, coils, platinum plugs), electric cutouts, and did you get new tires/rims? if not get some charcoal torque thrust II's

Mario, do you have cats?? Do you have any kind of bullets in there?? I have QTP's, ORY, and GMMG with a bullet in the I-pipe and it sounds almost exactly like yours.

Well, right now its between GMMG or Corsa.

However I was think if I am going to end up spending $1300 on the FLP set up maybe I should go with a Hooker cat back and save some $. But I havent found any clips with the FLP and cats with hooker set up.

You know of any?

gonna get headers........GMMG exhaust for sure w/ some Pacesetters or Hookers...get a new cam if you wanna really deepin the sound and make it more muscled up sound......however.....if your keeping the stock manifolds....get SLP LM w/ Y-pipe...the y-pipe makes it a bit deeper then the stock "flat" y-pipe...you have an 00 T/A so i say get an LS6 Intake Manifold also-My car was one of the real FREAKS the lucky ones that nearly EVERYTHING was upgraded to jusut about the Listed gains for all my parts....

Nope, no cats or bullets in my setup. I've got Pacesetters, ORY, and GMMG. It sounds mean as hell

Go with gmmg and flp header kit. Thats what i have and i love it, i used to have the hooker cat-back but im selling it right now. I got gmmg and it sounds so awesome, sound clips on the internet dont do it justice. All together it is a very expensive exhaust system, flp+gmmg but it is the best sounding exhaust you can get.
