Lids usually run around $100 bucks. This link http://www.wsproject.com/user_stor/c...Path=235_89_65
shows you all the different lids available for his trans am. There is one picture of a breather filter which is not what you want. The rest of the pictures shows different air lids. I would suggest getting the SLP one at the bottom. They all do the same thing so there not really one that is the best. As far as Long tube headers goes. You need to find out if his car still has an EGR system on it and it still has the AIR system on it. If it still does you will have to order headers with the provisions on them for the AIR and EGR. There are many different headers, but a good budget header are the pacesetters. This likn below will show you all the options. Make sure you are looking at just the headers that say "long tubes". Once again, if he still does have the AIR and EGR sytemes on his car, he will need the headers with provisions in them. If he doesn't have the AIR or EGR systems on his car, you will need to buy the "race" version of the headers.

Okay, A thousand is a little out of the question lol...
But about the pic, I uploaded one of some headers.
Oh and trey--my boyfriend... Mentioned they needed to be ceramic or something in that manner.![Christmas Crisis...:read:-trey.jpg](https://ls1tech.com/forums/attachments/new-ls1-owners-newbie-tech/152833d1469139917t-christmas-crisis-read-trey.jpg)
Okay, aside from that my next big question is...
Trey's car is stock and he is obssessed with his baby. But he has a lot of things in mind. Can you give me some ideas of things that he could want to do to his trans am....
Oh and I really hope he would appreciate a gift for his car lol...
Thank you so so so so much.
Oh and can you let me know about some less expensive things lol, but still GOOD!

lid, pacesetters, catted y would net about 30hp and cost about 600
http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...id=181&catid=8
you can get a lid anywhere from the sponsors >>>>> and they will all be the same price and all do the same thing.
and since its a 99 you could get him an ls6 intake those go for about 300 used on these very forums.
so you can have all those for about 1k and that would be a great start for his car.

Pacesetters are headers like the pic you posted. That is sweet that you're trying to get him some good car parts for Christmas but if your boyfriend Trey is on here don't you think he might easily see this thread? You could do something simple like a strut tower brace for about the same price as a lid as well.

Here is a link to the lids. I have the bottom one, which is the SLP one and it is very nice!
http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...Path=235_89_65
And here is also another thing on top of the lid that I would greatly appreciate. Who doesn't love free stuff for our cars!!![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)

don't cheap out on him and get coated headers, do it right and get stainless. A lot of nut huggers on here will tell you about pacesetters...until they have to replace them a few years later.
Edit just saw you want to spend 300.....a lid and maybe some appearance mods would be cool

I would get ahold of a lid, and them maybe get ahold of 6litereater about some of his new products. He has a splitter that goes on the front of our cars and really adds something different for appearance. A short shifter will still be within your 300 budget with the lid. They range in price from $90 to $190 here.

By the way. This is great that you are doing this for your BF, and im sure everyone on here wishes our significant others would think of doing something like this for us.

Strut Tower brace ~100
Lid ~100
Would be an awesome pair of gifts that are within your budget and are quality parts. With the exhaust items, you're gonna have to sacrifice quality to stay close to your budget. Is better to start out small, but with parts you won't have to replace later.

So, I have so many idea's now, thanks to everyone who posted.
You guys are very sweet.
Now, I know when mentioned about the short shifter, That is something I believe he actually wanted.
So I am most likely purchasing the lid and something else. But I do not believe I can be too secret because, I want to get the right parts and Ones that he actually Likes. I would hate to buy him something and then trey not like it or He wanted to have a different one.
I have bought him a necklace before and that didn't last long and I thought he just didn't like it because he had other necklaces from previous girlsfriends that have lasted forever. but whatever.
*************
I just want him to Really really have an amazing 6 months, and christmas with me. It will be my very first one with him and I am sooooo excited.
when Should I order the parts so that they will be in on time?
