Camaro LT additional modifications?

I have a 2011 model v6 (1LT) camaro. I have installed the K&N air filter as well as a Borla Catback Exhaust.

I would like to modify my car further in terms of speed and sound but I bought the car with an offer that comes with a lifetime warranty in the transmission and engine.

What other installations can I do without having to void the warranty?

Thanks in advance.

Simple mods... Would suggest a ported throttle body, and Vitesse Throttle controller. Both will help with throttle response, and shouldn't put your warranty at risk.

Another option is an intake manifold isolator, since you have the LLT motor. That will help reduce air intake temperatures, which provides a little more low-end torque. Keeping with that train of thought, you can also remove the engine cover (free!) to help keep the IM a little cooler.

A CAI would improve the sound and help the performance a little. Definitely get a catch can.

Don't know how much more you could do without affecting the warranty or having to fight with a dealership if you need work done.

+1 for the catchcan. It's not going to add any power, but will help protect the valve train.

These guys nailed it. Along with the CAI you can add a scoop and washer tank relocation for more air flow.
