I have a 2SS/RS m6 and around $800.00 to spend on my first mod. I am undecided on what to do as eventually I will do them both. Should spend the money on a CAI/Hurst Shifter/Cosmetics or spend it all on a noweeds system(really like the sound)?

Upgrading to a Hurst shifter is a great mod for increasing your fun factor. So is switching to a set of 4.10 rear end gears.

I am looking at spending the same money on a CAI combined with the Vector or Jannetty tune.

Haven't decided which CAI yet either. Airaid, Roto, and ADM are my top 3.

You can't go wrong with the ADM systems, they are top notch.

IMO the first 2 things to fix are the stance (too large a wheel gap) and the ugly stock muffler cans hanging down below the rear diffuser.

If you are a L99 and dont care about warranty then my vote would be CAI and custom dyno tune. If its a ls3 then my vote would be cai and lowering springs. If you get it tuned just make sure to do it from a great tuner.

That would be sweet....if it could be done for under $800!

Agreed, replace that friggin coookie dough spatula shifter with some hardware and throw some LT's on it.

Let her eat!

unfourtunately you cant do Quality long tubes for under $800 either or I would have put that down. The Solo high flow cats and cai would be my recommendation since I now know its a ls3.

You can get the gears and install kit for under $800, but installation will put you over. Its worth the stretch though, 4.10s rock!

Upgrade your sway bars....

Not glamorous, wont make more noise - but makes a huge difference to the car's handling

If you drive a manual - change your shifter after that

From then on its really up to you on how intact you want your warranty to be - but clearly the best bang for buck seems to be headers/axle back/ CAI for relatively cheap HP
