Default Good package?

saw this and I'm wondering if this is a good price for all of this, and is it worth doing? If it is, this would probably be the first thing i do, but i would also add electric cutouts.

Also, has anybody else used this webiste? I've seen a firebird local that had a window sticker of them, but that's all I've seen of them.

the only people that would pay that much for those parts are people who know nothing,not trying to make fun of you but its close to 4 grand in junk, i would get a lid, there all over CL for under 30 bucks, there are much better headers for the money ,pacesetter,tsp , and you can get a mail in tune pretty cheap as well, im sure there is someone in your area that can do a bolt on tune, port your own tb cost like 25 bucks if you do it yourself, ls6 intake used 300,you can get a raspy loud mouth all day for 125,150 i would go with something else. i could buy all of those parts used for way under a grand lol, read,read,read is all i can tell you slp rates all there hp at the flywheel , which is a bs 400,

Thanks for the info, just checking it out, I kinda like the rasp though, so i think I'll stick with the exhuast, but I want to get different LTs that have better ground clearance, but similar sound.
doesn't a 2002 ss already have a LS6 intake?

For $3,400 you could do H/C, headers, and a dyno tune if you installed it yourself. You'd have 400-450rwhp depending on cam choice, and I might add with better parts. If your getting a 2002 car it will already have an LS6 intake. The loudmouth is a little loud but a very good flowing cat-back. If you want budget Headrs look at TSP. If not go with Kooks or ARH. ARH has a much better y-pipe though.

Loudmouth is great on a stock car.but after internals it sounds like crap.if you want loud, great sound better than any catback tsp duals with sweet thunders, car will sound beyond great, loud, no rasp .

After reading and looking at videos, I think I've decided on the TSP duals, not sure what headers yet though.

I love the sound and cam of this car, but how aggressive is that cam? is it easily streetable?
