i wouldnt run dual cut outs..one after the Y merge should be enough. id hold on to the tune as well, till you get more mods like intake or even a cam consider gears too.

im just waiting for the headers to come in they were on back order but they should be in by the end of the month. What intake would you guys suggest? Ls6 or something like the Fast 90 / 90? Dont really know much about that but if anyone could help me out before the headers come in so i can get that ordered id appreciate it. Any and all suggestions????

fast is a great setup, however your going to pay way to much for them.

for that price you can pickup a ls6 intake, powdercoat & port both the intake and TB for the price of a fast setup and still have money to blow

I would go with it if there was free future tunes. Might want to ask just incase you want to add extras later.

ls6 is great for that, before u pick a cam make sure u talk to the guys at texas speed or comp cams, they know there cams with almost any configuration.

tell them your potential cam setup with supporting mods and they'll give u a cam that compliments your setup. I personally love the 224/224, with stock heads a 228 is prolly the highest u can go.. but personally I wouldn't want to go that high without a better set of heads..

What heads are you looking into? I'd get a nice set of 243 heads (ls6 heads is the way to go imo), I personally wouldnt get patriot but for the money I like the 243 heads, you can prolly pick some up for around $500-800 on the classifieds, don't be afraid t buy used and have them rebuilt with better parts, since you'll have to do it anyways aslong as the heads aren't cracked.

There are better heads out there, but for the price its a good upgrade

headers, y pipe, with the magna flow cat back exhaust system sounds so sick, also a cam will really getting the exhaust rumbling. look up some videos there all over youtube. defiantly look into spending good money with the headers and y pipe, some people disagree with spending good money for the induction and exhaust for these cars but it defiantly helps you better and will last you longer with no problems but thats my own thought. but it all comes down to how much money you really have to spend. i wish you luck though man hope everything turns out the way you want it!
