Catback, Cold air intake, catch can..I went with a roto fab intake, elite catch can, and settled for a muffler delete. No it will not void your warranty.

Small, but effective mod list:

Roto-Fab Intake, TSP 2" Long tubes, TSP catless mids, MSD spark plug wires, stock catback, Elite Catch Can, APEX washer relocation and scoop, VMAX throttle body, Diablo InTune-Tuned by Matt@FSP, and a JacFab license plate bracket.

Welcome Bruno! My first mod was exhaust cut-outs and is still probably my favorite mod. I much prefer the cut-outs rather than putting catbacks on. If you are not buying the Camaro new you may want to consider a professional tune, it made a big difference in my SS. Strut brace isn't just a pretty mod but it actually makes a difference in the cars handling.

As Pluto mentioned a CAI is a "must buy". I wanted something different than what everyone else had so I bought a G5CR CAI and have had zero problems and haven't thrown any engine codes. I haven't seen another Camaro with a G5CR. Dash ABL and footwell lighting are great mods. I'm not a fan of the catch can and haven't put one in my car. I know a couple of people that put them in their car and they get hardly nothing going into them so I just don't think it's worth the money. Maybe they are worth it and I'm missing out? I have done so many mods on my SS it's hard to recall all of them.

Welcome to the "I drive a cool car club". Love mine and I'm sure you will too! Cold air intake, tune, mufflers and resonator delete. I've also got lots of cosmetic mods.

Much louder with the resonators removed. Deeper rumble at idle and start up as well as when stomping on it.
