New to the forum, so I'll defer judgement to those who've been here longer, but I followed the same order as HopeRidesAlone.

In the long run, it really won't matter too much.....you'll want everything

The first Mod should be to put overdraft protection on your account lol! Because once you start with this car and now you are on this forum you won't stop. Let the Modding begin

! Also intake should be your first mod on any car. You won't go nowhere fast if you can't suck up enough air.

Are the insulator's compatible with the LFX? If so I must of missed that one!

you know i completely missed the 2012 in the first thread

im not completly sure if they are or not but with the the different intake on the 2012 they may not be as good of results on it my bad op.

Fireman_af · 03-05-2012, 06:39 PM

I would go with either the roto-fab or CAI intake. Then the solo cat back with J pipes. Also a RX catch can.

I think the 2012 intake manifold is a composite material, so the isolator isn't needed. Unless changing the runner length is of benefit. Of course the ports would have to line-up between 2011 and 2012 as well...

EDIT - From another thread: Yes, the 2012 intake is plastic. No, the ports don't match between 2011 and 2012 so an isolator like the Black ICE-olator won't fit...

We just added the ICEolators to our site about an hour ago and they are really flying. Prolly the hottest item I've seen on the Camaro (V6 or V8) since the first short throw shifter hit the market.

I got to see these in action first hand over the weekend and they are certainly built with quality and durability in mind.

The fact that Tracy and Mike have been able to show consistent gains of 20 rwhp is just amazing as well.

Take a look at the specs and see for yourself! Looks like it's going to be the item to get for 2010/2011 LLT V6ers!!
