Well right now, im tight on funds im in the Air Force and only and E-3 and have 700 in bills a month I bought an 05 Gixxer 600 and the insurance is more than the payment and insurace on my TA.......haha but once I get that figured out.
I would do basic bolt ons but the exhaust first its way, way too quiet... im thinking GMMG but its pricey but it sounds hella good any suggestions on a cheaper on?
And maybe a little NAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWSSSSSSS down the road haha.....
O yeah and some TT2's

I know how you are feeling man, I remember the day I drove my NBM WS6 back to Arkansas from Dallas when I bought it almost two years ago. I drove by every glass window'd building I could find just to see my reflection.
Suggestions:
Don't bother with TT2's, if you had a regular T/A I would say go for it but the 98-00 WS6 wheels are balling.
Exhaust - Skip that raspy, junk y-pipe setup and go with TD's w/Magnaflow bullets exiting through Corsa Clone tips [if you can find any as noone sells them anymore] ... Magnaflow TD's are the best sounding exhaust on an LS1 car. Period.

Awesome car man!! Congrats on the purchase! I gotta say, the only reason I haven't gotten new rims are because i love the look of the polished aluminum WS6 rims for the 98-00. Just lower it a bit, and you'll be set. As for exhaust, if you are only getting a catback right now and want loud, go with the Loudmouth. I love mine. I've got LT's and the LM1 and it sounds like the devil coming down the street haha.
Now i think a change of your sig is in order!!

Yeah I was so scared when I drove it home 2hrs on I-80...crazy *** california drivers.
It was funny the other night an LT1 Camaro tried to run me he was mad on it going through the gears, burning his tires off and I was barely pressing the gas keeping right beside him.....I was like ROFL
As for the exhaust I want cost effective so the duals would be nice but probably exspensive?

i had a full exhaust(Lt's,Y, catback) Geared(3.73's), intake, and madZ28 tuned '96 Z28 LT1 M6 and from a dig i could take a lid, catback LS1 until 3rd gear then they went by me and pulled away. From a Roll it was pretty bad for me. The LS1 is a much stronger motor up top especially. As much as i LOVED my LT1 and miss the torque that thing had it's the truth

Nice car. When I first bought mine, the first month, I had it probably 4 days. I got it some new paint. Then I was doing something to it and left the t-tops on the car but no locked in. Those flew off, shattered and messed up the paint on the spoiler.... Don't do what I did.
My first mod was a lid. Took off from there.

Well I think I found my first mod a lid, bellow and K&N. But I want to find out who makes the Lid first, all the ad says is its a clear lid.
Also what about removing the MAF screen, I searched and it seems like theres not a real straight answer for it? Will it mess with SMOG testing?
