Is anything done to the car right now? If not I would get a cat back or a tune you could eather have it tuned or buy a tuner from a performance store or the net. Other things you could do (depending on how much more hp you want) is a lid or a bigger tb.

first mod and having 600 I would say a cat back exhaust and cold air kit. I reccomend the lm1 for a loud good feeling when you punch the pedal.lol.

Yes, I agree with jimmybling31. Some kind if cold air kit and a cat back. I have had my WS6 for about a year, and that was the first thing I did. I got the SLP cold air kit and Loudmouth II cat back and it felt good, and sounded good to. lol. I love the sound of my Loudmouth II's.They will chase woman and children back into their houses! lol. And just for your information, check out WS6Store.com. That's where I have been buying all my stuff. They have SLP stuff, and their prices are actually cheaper than going directly to SLP. Good luck!

if its a ws6 you do not want tpo get the slp cold air kit note that the cold air kit is for non ws6/ non ss cars, if i was u wich i was i would get a air box lid and a good filter, and exhust, maganflow is the best flowing for the car but is a lil bit salty, go to ls1sounds.com and lesson to the cars and see wich ex u want, after that i would think about geting the car to stop.

nitto tires so you can hook($300)
hooker exhaust($300)

I say get subframe connectors and save the rest. Stock exhaust seems very loud at first. When you get used to it and have the money, get a good dual exhaust with headers. Do it right the first time.

Welcome to ls1. if the cat back is stock and you just bought the car i say catback first.

**Speed Psychosis** · 03-21-2008, 08:21 AM

^ i have heard of that on several cars, but none with a ls1. mostly imports.

Get Sub Frame Connectors first!!!

SLP Air Lid

I couldnt tell the difference between the my Eagles and my Nittos

you know the slp flows better it's just so much louder that you might not want it over the magnaflow

i make 379 to the rear and had nitto 555r tires on it for 4 years and the rear is fine. nittos are not as sticky as slicks. nittos do slip when you punch it.
a slick will kill a stock rear though.
