Default Tsp vs kooks

I just bought a 07 C6 and I would like to put LT and full exhaust with or without cats (I live in Florida and they don't do emissions) and a intake. I really only want to do bolt ons cause this is my daily driver. What exhaust system would y'all prefer? Kooks or Texas speed? And the. What type of intake? I want to try and get the best gas mileage I can.

I don't think you'd see any power difference between Kooks and TSP. I'd go for Texas Speed and save all the money to put towards an exhaust of you choice (I would recommend either an NPP setup or Z06 muffler)

For intake I'd recommend Halltech and prop open the shroud to feed it cool air.

Except that I really do prefer full stainless steel headers/X-pipes (such as Kooks) over mere mild steel that's been coated (TSP)...but the pricing on the TSPs still has to make them quite tempting.

Any one of the major brands (LG, Kooks, AR, B&B) will product about the same amount of gains and they are all quality units. Go with the set that you can get the best deal on at the time you're ready to buy.

I would go with OBX headers. They get the job done, and don't break the bank.

thanks guys I looked at the OBX and they seem like good LT. Im guessing that all LT 1 7/8 headers produce about the same Hp and TQ gains.

The CAI I would like to go with the Halltech
