Hey, if it helps, I just went from the 00 stock system with a flowmaster muffler, to true duals, high flow cats, x pipe, and two glaspak mufflers, and the car sounds 200% better, and the car runs better as well. No idea how much HP we picked up, but I haven't had the car retuned and it without a doubt shifts harder into second. Barks the tires into second now without being on it as hard a before

umm for cheap stuff you could get a ls6 intake for $300-$400, Pulleys, and get cutouts for your exhaust. To get the power to the ground get some subframe connecters, Lower control arms, and a set of street radials
