Those of you with A6 Camaro SS - much deserved credit

When I first purchased my 2011 2SS A6 I loved it. After driving it a while it felt powerful but heavy and sluggish. I have owned many performance vehicles and started doing research as I always do.

Goal - get tune, intake, headers, and beef up suspension.

Tune - After much research I decided to use Ted for my tune over at Jannetty. I had faith in him based on other Camaro5 members. I received his tune and loaded it before anything was installed just to see improvements. The car ran smoother and used its factory power a little bit better. No more drone.
Ted's genius was soon to be released though.

Intake - I had my mind made up on another brand but couldn't stop reading about Vararam. When I called them I couldn't believe they were just 20 minutes away from me. I drove over to meet with Steve at Vararam. He pulled out their unit and also told me to check for a weak MAF(mass air flow sensor). Yep mine was a turd. I purchased a stronger one from him along with a Vararam set up. I followed instructions and in no time it looked great. After a while I decided to get on it and I literally thought "the kracken" was about to jump out of my hood. My intake sounded amazing and sucked in the road ahead. My car was a different animal now.

I am about to install long tubes and high flow cats then spend my life savings on suspension parts.

Anyone who has an A6 Camaro SS shouldn't wait any longer. Call these guys and fall in love with your car that much more! Best money spent!

Thank you Ted and Steve for doing what you guys do best.

OP- Did you get the Car Re-tuned for the intake?! If you are doing headers, you might as well do it all at once...BUT MAKE SURE YOU RE-TUNE!!!

THIS!

Told myself I would stop at intake and exhaust... then came suspension, headers, audio, wheels..

Told myself that was it! no more money... annnnnnd now we are looking at cam and forced induction.

You are about to get sucked in OP, and it hurts so good. The jump in performance and SOUND to headers is INCREDIBLE!.
