Cat back, ls6 intake manifold, headers, Y pipe. How much do you want to spend and what are your goals?

If your not conserned with money go with the fast. If you go to the 90mm i think you'll have to change your throttle body. And boltons alone won't get you 400 to the wheels you'll need all the boltons and a good cam.

Full exhaust and a decent cam can get you 400+to the wheels! get at least a LS6 intake, Fast is the best but is also the most expensive by alot!

LT headers and an ORY will wake your exhaust up a lot. Pacesetter LT's, ORY, Magnaflow catback will give you a very nice tone and will wake up your car a lot. I have the FAST intake and if you are only looking for low 4's then an LS6 will work just fine and you can use the extra money on the exhaust. After that then a small 224R cam will get you low 4's and then if you are thinking of a little more power, then a 228R is still not too big of a cam and very streetable and will give you just a little bit more power. It just depends on what you want. But either of those will get you into the 400's with bolt-ons. Good Luck!!!!

Well if money isnt a problem get corsa or borla. But one way or another the faster it goes the louder it gets. Unless you want to turbo charge it

the FAST intake is generally a better setup than the ls6. however you probably won't notice much difference untill you put a bigger cam in.

to an extent its more intake than the stock motor needs.

however, if you are upgrading from the ls1 intake to the FAST, it will be a worthwhile increase.

look into www.texas-speed.com they have the intake and TB for $1100 total
