Default bolt on idea

Ok guys i have some ideas i want to run by you. First off I am 17, and paying for my mods and gas and insurance. So im looking at the best current route.

1.buy used headers and y and do some cutouts with the stock catback

2.buy a catback, and save for headers later on.

3. buy a ls6 intake and ported TB

or any other ideas. I am sorta leaning towards the headers/cutout/stock catback.


what do you guys think? this is for a 1998 camaro SS m6.

I already ahve Lid/shifter/LCA's/SFC's

You should consider goin ahead and porting your on throttle body....thats a little and wont cost anything but a little time. Then in my opinion i would possibly look at getting somethin to tune with. Like HP Tuners, or somethin as simple as a handheld. Because once you start adding things like exhaust intake and things along those lines the stock tune gets stretched. I noticed a good increase with my Crane, and after i added exhaust and gears i was able to tune the car better.

Option 1 definately, screw the catback, cutout will always outflow one. You can always get an electric cutout down the road if you don't want it loud all the time.

With your restrictive '98 headers, headers for sure.
