Are you tuning it?

No. Not 20 without a tune. maybe 7-10whp, MAYBE. Expecting anymore would be naieve, if you get more great but I would by no means expect it. Cutouts are for sound. You are not gonna run wide open everywhere and you are placing them after the cat which is the most restrictive component on this car.

The "LSX" manifold without major NA Power adders (heads/cam/headers) or a Centri blower is a waste of money. If you want the look, have your stock manifold custom painted and save your money.

If you tell me or a few others in this thread your goals we can put some mods together for you to consider. I would rather you go in with realistic expectations though.
Definitely not tuning! I realize the LSX manifold wont do much, just for looks. I'll look into paint though.

My main goals performance wise are really just to get a nice looking intake and to have cut outs. Wheres the best place to mount the cut outs?

If traction control kicks in lets say shifting into 2nd it really bogs the car down and sounds and feels awful, much better results if take care of things manually. No fuel saver but it does have skip shift which is annoying, 1st to 4th if the rpms are low enough
Gotcha, and whattttt 1st to 4th? That doesnt lug the engine?

Good luck with the new car. Enjoy

Interesting...I'll look this week. I'm not too concerned because it is GM certified.
