Longtube headers and y pipe. You can get the Pacesetter headers and a Y with or without cats. That should leave you enough money for a lid. Or if you are an auto car, you can get yourself a Stall converter, which will help a ton too.

lid/headers/ported TB, those are easy mods and you can get all that for like $650-$700 if you know how to install yourself.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I appreciate it. I think Im going to do headers, y-pipe and the lid.

One more question:

I believe Ive heard some people say that headers with the slp exhaust sounds like ****? Is this true? Note: I understand it will be loud Im okay with that part the SS is not a daily driver. Thanks again.

btw: my ss is 6 spd

I had the loudmouth on my car with headers and no cats. The car was loud, but it did not have a nice tone to it at all. After I put the cam in, it was even worse. I had it changed over to a true dual setup with 1 chamber flowmasters, and it sounds 1000% better.

its all personal preference... i personally like the loud sound of the LM with headers but then again... you cant beat the sound of LT's with a gmmg catback.

It will be very loud. Mine with the Pacesetters and ORY and an unknown stainless muffler is pretty loud. Not intollerable, nice throaty sound, but loud. A litty droney on highway.

$1k dollars huh?, you could do alot, you could buy a ported and polished t/b for around $80, a k&n and a lid about $150, MSD wires and NGK plugs for about $80, ported MAF ends for about $80 ( curent total $390 ), now LT's are good but if you have a loudmouth you might wanna save up a little more so you can replace your catback otherwise it is gonna be loud but LT's & ORY for about $520, so there ya go, doing the labor yourself you got $910 in parts and some go power

I was most likely going to keep the cats on, I'm trying to keep it street legal.

run no cats, find someone that will pass you, then its street legal!

Ive heard though that some cops will look under your car and if they see no cats they'll impound it. Thats what im more worried about.

Okay guys sorry for all the questions but heres what I was thinking about doing for my set up:

Lid, Hooker Headers, y-pipe and keeping my slp loudmouth exhaust.

What do you guys think?

I say go for it and keep the cats. The cats will quiet the car down a little from that loud obnoxious sound.

I would get LT's and a y-pipe, a ported TB and lid.
