**BamBam87** · 10-31-2009, 05:20 PM

i have a 2001 trans am ws6 and i am looking to get a whole exhaust system but everywhere i look the packages never come with headers.....so does anyone know what brands are good ones to look at and where i should look to get me a exhaust system? thanks in advance

This place has a good deal on Pacesetter's. That's what I run and I love them. Great fit and they dont hand down low. All you would have to do is buy the headers, which comes with a y-pipe and then find a "cat-back" system that you like and thats it, you full exhaust is complete

Look into Pacesetters like mentioned and then just pick the catback you desire.

Oops, sorry bout that Y2K

Depends on what you want to spend...

On a budget, get yourself the pacesetters.
Have a little more to spend, go with ARH or Kooks.

Magnaflow catback.

thanks for the advice. now i just need to find where i can get a LS6 intake from. im putting my trans am up for the winter and i am hoping i have enough money to get an exhaust system put on and a new intake. if i am lucky i want to get a new cam. but if i do that is it a good thing or bad thing to change the gears in the rear diff?

**Y2K_CAMARO** · 11-01-2009, 05:25 PM

Its not a bad thing to change them, but it also ok if you keep the stock gears too

**BamBam87** · 11-01-2009, 05:28 PM

isnt it that if you go past 4.0 for gears your just sucking up the gas? cause i heard from someone that going past 4.0 is just for the drag strip. is that true you think?

**Y2K_CAMARO** · 11-01-2009, 05:31 PM

Well, is your car an A4 or an M6?

**BamBam87** · 11-01-2009, 05:34 PM

to tell you the truth i dont know what that is. im still in the learning process of about my trans am

**Y2K_CAMARO** · 11-01-2009, 05:41 PM

Lol, its ok, you'll learn a lot on here. A4 (automatic 4 speed) M6 (manual 6 speed)

4.10/4.11 gearing will give you about 1MPG less on gas mileage. It is negligible and well worth the loss for what you gain.

Also, you have a 2001 WS6, you already should have the LS6 intake on it, unless someone swapped it.

All 2001-2002 have the LS6 from what I know.

**BamBam87** · 11-01-2009, 05:58 PM

lol thanks, i have a M6. and as for the intake already being a LS6 intake....is that cause the WS6 package?

I am not up to speed on the TA stuff, but I would assume so because only the Camaro SS came with it.

**BamBam87** · 11-01-2009, 06:06 PM

nice, i will definitely have to look into that cause if it does then that will save me money. and do you know what the stock gear is? cause that i know of it is a 2.72
