Default LS6 or Exhaust

I have a 1999 Trans Am with SLPs old heads and the smaller cam 216/222 115LSA, LTs and Flowmaster cat back.

I was wondering if I should get a LS6 intake or get Magnaflow catback? Which do you guys think would be more benificial?

if youre still running the stock exhaust, i would suggest the cat back. if you have the money headers would be the best investment if you are running aftermarket heads.

With what you have done, the LS6 intake. People say the Flowmaster chokes our cars, but so does an LS1 intake.

cutout+ls6 w00t, flowmaster should be fine for every day conditions, but when you wanna show the numbers at the track why buy a whole new catback when you can just get a cutout?

My vote is for a LS6+Cut-out as well.

they'res usually an ls6 on the board every week at least, if not every couple days. the more people that switch to fast, the more that will be sold. i'll have one for sale in the spring.....but that doesn't help you any right now MORE performance hooked me up w/an ls6 intake for 312 shipped over the summer. sponsers sometimes just try and move excess stock....thats how i got that deal. call around and see whats up. good luck!
