I'd just stick with the throttle body bypass if i was you. All the other free mods don't help and just tear up your stuff. Deleting your Air pump setup and EGR won't help power but do clean up the engine bay a bit. $550 isn't really enough for LT's. I believe Pacesetters are the cheapest out there and i think they are $450 coated and then you need the y-pipe. Then you need to get plug wires, wire looms, gaskets, O2 extentions, header bolts and probably new O2's. I'd say you probably need at least $750 to do LT's the right way.

Re: Free Mods and headers

just to list some of the free mods you can do
-MAF screen removal. some do it, some dont. eveyrone has their different reasons. mine was already done so i didnt have much of a choice.lol

-IAT relocation. if you have a cold air intake setup of some sort you can move the IAT from the stock rubber elbow to somewhere on the CAI closer to the air filter. it gives a better readign to the computer since it doesnt pick up engine heat and such. according to your sig you have ram air, as in my case i have the WS6 setup so theres really no option on what you can do with this, which is prollly the same case for you.

-AIR delete is mostly free unless you get it deleted from your computer as well, but that can cost. like mentioned no real gains just cleans up stuff alot.

-weight reduction is always nice but it depends on how far you want to go.

theres not a whole lot of free mods but those are realy the only ones i know of that really are free for the most part.

about the headers, i bought a set of heat treated hooker long tubes for 300 slightly used. they are great headers blah blah blah, i can go on forever. the point of this story is to explain how 300 dollars turned into over a grand after buying the things to make the headers work. i bought y-pipe, all the gaskets, plugs, OVC wires, header bolts, motor mounts since i was in there, and a tune. im prolly missing stuff as well. and i used the a bullet on the end of my muffler with a turndown so it was extremely cheaper than a catback, but it looks like you have a flowmaster. might take some more modification to get it to hook up the I pipe to Ypipe. anyways im just saying stuff adds up real quick so make sure you have covered EVERYTHING before you start. good luck
