I just wanted to introduce myself and my car. I bought a 2015 2ss/rs L99 white. The only thing I have done thus far is a muffler delete. With me being new to camaro's what would everyone recommend I start with mod wise? The car is still to quite in my opinion so I plan on doing LT headers and not sure on exhaust yet, once I do this I will tune at the same time. Would this be a good start?

The first thing that usually gets the ball rolling is a cold air intake. There are different brands that have different price ranges and are far superior to the factory unit. As for the headers, you can do that but it would void the warranty. Just to letting you know since it is a new car. You will need a tune to eliminate the check engine light. But if you are not concerned with warranty the intake, headers, and tune are a great start to the mod list.

Warning: the listed above mods usually start the itch for bigger mods.

Thank you,
Ricardo

Catch can. Don't leave home without one.

Welcome. Pics would really be nice. Just Say'n.. CAI, PTB, catch can. That will be more then enough to start the "Itch".

Ditto... then a cold air intake with air scoop. And since I'm sure you'll start asking for member's preferences, my preferred catch can is the Apex can and my preferred intake is CAI, Inc. with the Apex scoop and windshield washer relocation kit (don't know if the 2015s require w/w kit to install the scoop).

Congrats and welcome to C5!

Welcome! This is a really fun place and you will get great advice here!!

First mod? If you are planning to drive that car during Indiana winters, get those Pirelli tires off and replace them with some good all season tires. I promise, you will not like the Pirellis in the snow. At the least, you will get stuck. At worst, you'll crash.

Performance wise, a CAI, headers and a tune will make your car feel twice as a fast. These cars respond to this mod so well, it is amazing.

Good advice above OP, welcome to the forum. Now about those pictures

walkerc · 10-12-2015, 05:37 PM

This car will be a summer only car so winter will be used for mods and I will have pictures up shortly. Thanks again

CONGRATS on your ride and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wives', husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

JantzenOKC · 10-13-2015, 06:22 AM

Welcome! Love the color.

With me having the L99 engine is there anything extra I will need for the catch can? also is the billet catch can a good brand? I am going with either that or apex. I hear more about apex than billet.
