LTs and ORY, LS6 or FAST intake, some revalved bilsteins or adjustable konis and subframe connectors...might even want to consider a cam (if your doing a heads and cam swap in the future you should go for the FAST intake even tho it costs more than the LS6)...but thats just me...what are you putting down to the wheels right now??

I live in CA. How did you pass smog inspection with LTs

**L3THAL_Z28** · 09-04-2007, 08:57 PM

i haven't done LTs yet...i won't pass smog but i have a friend with a shop thats gonna hook it up lol

**y2K TA WS6** · 09-04-2007, 08:57 PM

Long Tubes sound great (literly), but how does it go with SMOG here in CA. Thats the one thing holding me back, plus the time it'll take to install, heard its 8 hrs.

**L3THAL_Z28** · 09-04-2007, 09:00 PM

well i heard Pacesetter LTs were really easy to install...i personally haven't heard installation time but i don't think it'll take 8 hrs if you've worked on your car before and know ur way around the car with the correct tools.
