Leave your TB alone. Find some good used long tube headers, some Z06 TI mufflers, intake (whichever one you haven't done) and a tune... If you shop for quality used parts you should be able to find all of those parts and get a mail-order tune from a good tuner (like ECS) for around your stated budget. Also, if you have a manual trans get a good aftermarket shifter like MGW, B&M Ripper, or Hurst... That stock piece is just too sloppy.

Hey Wade,
If you can give us all the details on the car - year, auto or 6-speed, etc., we can answer your questions pretty easily. Of course everyone will have different opinions and you should also tell us where you are so that we can keep smog laws in mind. If you're here in Kelifornia with me, then you need to be extra careful.
Hope that helps,
Marc

What year car did you get? What do you mean when you said you already did your intake (intake manifold or cold air intake)? If you have a pre-2001 car you should get the LS6 intake manifold if you haven't already done so.
Leave your TB alone. Find some good used long tube headers, some Z06 TI mufflers, intake (whichever one you haven't done) and a tune... If you shop for quality used parts you should be able to find all of those parts and get a mail-order tune from a good tuner (like ECS) for around your stated budget.

Also, if you cannot find a good set of used headers then check out XSPower stainless headers available on sale right now from Superman09.
