Got my new Borla S, ADM cai and tune from ARD - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

This is my first post on here. I have been reading this message board for a few years but just recently became a member and now my first post.

Anyway, just bought my 2012 SS/RS 6 speed stick shift one month ago used with 6200 miles on the car. The person that had the car had Flowmaster mufflers welded in the stock system. Sounded ok.

I couldn't wait to get modin'. So I went to ARD here in Houston and ordered the Borla S type cat back and ADM cai. Well, today, ARD installed the parts and dynoed the car before and after the install along with Owen Priest, the owner of ARD, tuning it while on the dyno. Dynojet by the way. The car made 377 base RWHP and 392 RWHP after the install. I couldn't believe the difference in the way the car drove after. I am very pleased. Dosn't seem like a huge gain in horsepower but the tune helped with response. I love the sound of the Borla S. It has a great muscle car sound. Better than the flowmaster mufflers that were on there. Thanks ARD.

I have the Borla S-Type cat back and just recently put Kooks long tubes on. Waiting to get a C.A.I. and ported throttle body before i get it tuned but i must say the long tubes made a nice difference.

I am still debating long tubes for my car. It's a daily driver and wouldn't mind the extra power but don't really want it any louder. I could be easily conviced though. And then there is the whole emissions thing here in Harris County.
