I would get the LT's and the ory first. As the old saying goes the more you eat the more you ****! So if you put on the intake you probley would need better exaust asap. So i would do the exaust

headers and ory pipe because you dont live in california and can enjoy the new tone of your car....if it doesn't go faster, it certainly will sound as if it does.

LTs hands down. More power, better fuel efficiency, and the potential for better sound.

Def. get the LT's before the Intake. I noticed a way bigger gain w/ the headers over the intake.

Depends where you want a problem. Doing a full exhaust will expell it faster than necessary without the ls6 intake, and with the ls6 intake you can't expell it fast enough. More air = more power. Plus at least you can sell your ls1 intake and use it as a down payment for headers. Nobody wants anythign to do with the stock exhaust lol.
