Hey Redlights, I'm going through the same as you. I was never a car enthusiast either until I got my Camaro. Even then I didn't think I would ever mod it or even knew what that meant. I didn't know it when I bought it, but my car came with some mods from the dealer - a heritage grille, rear spoiler, tint, and powdercoated stock rims on P-zeros (which don't come normally with a 2LS). I also had the dealer install steering wheel controls and the PDIM module for USB music playback.

Fate led me to Camaro5 and I met some really cool people in my area that had a Camaro club (shout out to cVc!!). Once I met them in person and heard their cars I wanted to see what I could do.

I started with a CAI and purchased a Roto-Fab through JDP motorsports. After watching YouTube videos and reading the instructions a few times (remember I've never worked on cars before), I installed it myself in under an hour. The difference was very noticeable and I even got a bit of a growl out of my V6 engine. I love it! The difference in throttling/accelerating is great!



Next up, I wanted my Camaro to sound a bit angrier. So I began researching exhaust. I knew I couldn't do the cat-back installation myself so I went with axle-back. I was intimidated to cut anything off my car, but went for it. I ordered the MRT 2.0 system through Auto-Agenda, and again installed it myself in about an hour and a half. It's pretty straightforward to install it.

Once you go for it and accomplish it yourself you'll get that proud feeling I have. I love knowing I did it myself. And that first cold start up with my CAI and exhaust together... oh man did I have the biggest cheesiest smile. Sheer joy my friend!!
