Default Help me decide what to do

So i'm about to spend a little money on my m6 lt1 z28, I've decided i'm either going to do a ls1 front end swap, or headers/ORY and magnaflow catback.. I cant decide what to do now and what to save for later. Which one do yal think i would be happier doing first? thanks

are you more into looks or performance? i personally don't feel its worth the time or money to change your front end to an lsx, if i wanted that look i'd just buy an ls1 car. i'm for the headers and cat back

Well my plans are to do full boltons and maybe a small cam like the hot cam kit, and a few looks mods. I just really like how the white ls1 z28s look, like these ones:

I think you'd be happier with some more power, after all, power is why you got the car in the first place.

If you wanta keep up with most low 13 second cars and if you dont wanta stare at LS1 tail lights, get "Headers/ORY and catback".

I think engine is the deal. I love the look of my car, and I think the LS cars look cool to, but I never got my car so chicks would think I'm cool or little wimps at the mall could ask me questions about my car (even though all that happens). I wanted a car that started all the time, depending on what I did to it mod wise, handled and braked well and was one of the meanest bad *** terror inducing to the competion cars I could get my hands on. The guys in the know, understand a built lt1 or ls1 car is not to be taken lightly. Besides if I wanted an awsome looking z28 I'd own one built in 1968 (or a early model chevy II)

Neither. Do long tubes with an orx-pipe and true duals. It'll be cheaper(or close to the same price) and sound better. Might also get an intake too.

Well I'm not feeling like doing that, it just seems like too much of a PITA, so ill just do a pre-fabbed exhaust
