2014 ss upgrades

Hey guys looking to do some upgrades to wife's car. She has a 2014 ss. I already got her exhaust and cai. What would we be able to do with about 2k or so in upgrades? Without having to tune..

The cheapest and most important thing to get is a catch can. Did you get one of these yet ?

If it's manual you can pick up a nice shifter. It won't add any power if course but it will make a night and day difference in your driving experience.

You could also put a taller gear in the rear end. That also won't add any power but will increase torque at the rear wheels nicely. Maybe a 3.91 or so?

It's a automatic. And gears arnt really worth the swap unless have more power to make them count. I know auto are more limited. But I figured people have done few things.

Maybe a Vmax tb.. catch can.. idk what else really..

Gears will make the most difference in how the car feels under acceleration, also in a given distance, your time will be reduce. 1/8 mile or 1/4 mile times will change a lot. If you go from a 3.20 gear ratio to a 3.91 gear ratio just hold on Gas mileage will take a hit though

Hi flow cats will probably give you the most hp without going long tube headers and a tune.

Ik you said you don't want a tune but if you want more power headers and a tune are deffinetly gonna give you the biggest power upgrade ecspecially with an auto the tune makes a huge difference

1LE rear stabilizer bar made a very noticeable difference for me in terms of flat cornering. Cheap and easy to install.

Tell me more about this 1le rear stabilizer... I searched but all I could find is people saying they installed it and what a big difference it made.

Not true, gears are amazing with stock power.
