year differences?
year differences? I am looking into getting a newer LS1 (00'-02')....they are hard to come by in my area and the 01' and 02's I find are usually overpriced. I know there are a few differences between the different years of LS1 WS6's (98'-02'). I know 98'-99's had cam issues and the 01'-02's had the LS6 intake but what are the differences in the 00's compared to the other years, powertrain/drivetrain related only. The reason why I am asking is because I have been hard pressed to find an 02' w/in my budget which is the year I am looking at....but I did find an 00' in great condition w/ all the options I like (including the 02' WS6 rims) and a price I can afford....I have been searcing through the forum and found a lot of related info but perhaps some of you die-hard LS1 enthusiasts could help me out w/ just the technical related differences between the different years and what your personal recommendation would be. Thanks for any help you are willing to offer.

It may be personal opinion, which we all have, but I am curious what you educated LS1 enthusiasts think.

Onto the next related question: I listened to a lot of exaust clips from ls1sounds.com and I was just curious what setup yeilds significant power gains (exaust wise) while still sounding throaty not raspy...I am not looking to do headers, just headers back and cats or no cats; doesn't make a difference...I like noise, so as long as it is throaty, loud works for me 
the car is a 2000 WS6 M6 (bone stock).....thanks again for your help...
p.s. - there is a budget, needs to be less that $1k for the entire setup
EDIT: I know I should probably make a new thread in the related section, but I figured I would keep my n00b questions confined to one thread....you understand. Mods/admins are welcome to move it if need be.
