haha I dont mind the smog crap more worried about warranty I guess reading into these threads of grenaded engines is what worries me. I might order the SW retro chamber and some shorties. if I changed cats would that require a tune or add any power?

InfernoSS454 · 03-30-2012, 03:57 PM

Yes it will add more power and yes it will require a tune.

i keep my advise on a basic ideology. i go by what most shops say and people here say. i get mods that most people get, and recommend. in fact i feel my advise is better than your at times. i know what your mods are, think about it. how many people here went with your route. small cam, stock valve train, custom exhaust etc .... really not many. so whats that tell you ?

I would not waste your money on shorties. Not much gain.

Good luck on what you do.

IMO, Bushings, Rear end gears, motor mounts. Loved the difference this made for me.

I keep forgetting to order motor mounts...and I definitely need to. This new power is making things move around a LOT.

Strickly speaking bolt ons, long tube headers with high flow cats/or race pipe will make the biggest performance difference (straight line speed).

Lots of guys drop a 1/2 second (which is huge) in the 1/4 mile from just long tube headers and high flow cats.

But that brings up the issue of tuning. It's highly recommended that you get your car tuned for long tube headers and high flow cats.

litle88 · 04-01-2012, 11:24 AM

If your getting long tubes pleeeease don't get cats! What's the point? It's already illegal and USELESS! Shorties are a waste of money. I'd rather get an electric w/p!
If your worried of warranty and it grenadine well I'm sorry but it's part of this hobby. I'd leave it stock then and find friends with slower cars lol.

I run cats on my car with longtubes...it quiets the car down a LITTLE, since it's pretty stupid loud with longtubes and 3" duals with bullets, it mellows out the raspy sound a little, and it also mellows out the smell a little at idle...and hasn't cost me any power that I can see. The high flow cats that are offered with most quality long tubes really don't restrict much at all.

...and my car passes it's own rear O2 readiness tests with all of the rear O2 sensor codes enabled, and no tricks...seems worth it to me.
