Now I am excited I Just picked up a set of PaceSetter Long Tubes for 100bucks was that a good price they are in good shape now I need to figure out what else I need to install

If you don't have a ls6 intake I would grab one of those, a under drive pulley and a tune. That combo is normally good for 330-350 rwhp. Good luck!

Do the motor mounts while the exhaust is off, you will thank yourself
later. poly mounts are inexpensive.

Looks great! That bout sums it up for cheap mods. There's always the free mods you could do but I wouldn't expect much.

I'd just get the pacesetter Y-pipe, pretty cheap on summit and fitment is great with their headers (what I'm running), but if you're dead set on a TSP, I'll sell you my brand new one for dirt cheap. Welcome to the site!
