MAC shorty headers and Magnaflow duals. That leaves you about $250 for the Powerhouse LCAs and UCAs.

MAC headers because they are 1 5/8" equal length primaries and much cheapers than the JBAs, which are only 1.5". Magnaflow duals because they are SS and a Y pipe, you really don't need anything more. Plus it will look better with two pipes sticking out instead of one. The control arms will help your launch. End of thread.

End of thread.
LOL

Im not sold on duals yet. I like the idea of still appearing like a v6. If i do single exhaust id go with the MRT setup. But yes, mac shorty headers are definately in my head as a thought

Well if you keep the V6 bumper it will still look like a V6 to the trained eye. J/K about the "end of thread" thing.

What about tires? Are you still running the stock tires?

LCA's will probably become a must for you at some point... Either Mikes' or BMR...

Will the MAC headers be compatible with Mike's turbo if you ever get to that point?

How bout some 50/50 rear drag shock?

The turbo is suppose to be compatable with any stock/shorty headers and any exhaust system.

Im running the gt takeoff rims/tires right now. Ill be keeping those at least until they wear lol.

Ive been thinkin bout LCA's but i want to go to the track first to see how i do with my current setup.

I'm torn on this.. I do like the looks of duals... but then again I want to keep the V6 look... I still can't believe the amount of sound I get from that single MRT... and for only $225... Hard to spend more money on my exhaust when i've got the sound I want and the nice performance gain...

john, can you link me to some drag shocks for our cars? Im actually interested in that. I think drag shocks and LCA/UCA would give me a pretty dramatic increase in my quarter mile

Personally, I'd get the dual exhaust set up. It won't do anything really for you quarter mile but it will sound good and look better than a single exhaust!

There's something about a couple shiny chrome pipes that really makes these cars look good.
