First Mod Ordered!!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

rjs1195 · 04-21-2012, 09:08 AM

Hey everyone, I just ordered my first mod. I purchased a CAI cold air intake system. I have a cat back system in mind for the next. I am thinking of the Corsa exhaust, but a fellow NEC5 member mentioned the MRT. Am I better off looking into the full cat back or the axle back? Also, I made a huge mistake by putting on my front plate on my 45th, after I had gotten stopped. I had no idea there was such thing as hide-a-way brackets, until a few NEC5 members showed me. What would be the best way to mask those unsightly disgusting holes

the the dealership drilled into my bumper to install? or should I just leave it?

There are little buttons that I've seen that fill those hole nicely. I have the mrtv2 with jba shorty headers and I get tons of compliments. Good luck with your mods and can't wait to check out your ride

Welcome to the darkside, it usually starts with intake and exhaust and then just gets worse and worse from there.

There are tons of options for exhaust and I personally would go with a full catback setup that way in the furture if you do a cam or some sort of f/i setup you can really take advantage of it with good exhaust flow. We have tons of exhaust options and awesome prices on them as well and would be happy to help if you have any questions.

Definitely go with the full catback exhaust of whichever one you chose.

Long Tube Headers

grab a full exhaust and you will want for nothing, but it depends on your budget and goals. If you just want sound, get an axle back, if you want some performance get headers back. If you want really good sound and awsome performance get yourself some long tubes and a full exhaust.

I bought the corsa sport catback exhaust, and will ne putting it on at work with a co worker this weekend if its not too busy. Can't wait to hear the difference!! The cold air intake I ordered is on back order for a few weeks,.wish they would have disclosed that prior to purchase, I would have bought it elsewhere.
