Question Next mod ideas

Whats a good next step to upgrade? I will be getting tints in my car soon, but afterwards I'm not too sure. I was looking at either a catch can or ghosted sidemarkers. Not sure which is better to do, and yes, i know one is purely aesthetic and the other is better for the engine. Any other recommendations?

Keep in mind my budget would be about $500, and even then it's pushing it

Sit down with a pencil and paper and decide where you want to go with your car, and then make a list of what mods you need to get there. Buying mods at random is like a woman in a shoe store.

Learned something new today... thanks for posting. I found this Catch Can online... as a LT1 V6 camaro driver is the Engine Type I want: LLT V6?

I am not sure what the LFX V6 refers to? [and yes I know that am still a noobie for probably asking this question ]

http://www.apex-speed.com/elite-engi...cc-300-v6.html

Thanks.

2010/2011 are LLT based V6 Engines.
2012/2013 are LFX based V6 Engines.

Both the Elite Engineering and RX Catch cans are great choices to choose from for either. Me personally, I love my RX Catch Can, couldn't be any happier with the results.

In the end, it's personal choice, both work great.

Great info, I was going to ask the same thing. Catch can seems like the way to go. Thanks everyone
