I typically go to cars and coffee every Saturday and went the the last cars and coffee at Cafe Bella. Here are a couple pics of the 1LE.

Thanks, I remember seeing you as well. Next time I'll come over and say hi. Your ride is pretty bad too.

I went with the TSP 1 7/8 inch and flow master mufflers.

Nice I'm thinking of getting those myself. What kind of gains did you see?

Welcome aboard Sir!!

My pleasure earning your business on the 1 El EE!! We really appreciate the Camaros over at SWS.

Just did a set of Kooks on a 2011 Camaro today. Did really well. Kinda pricey parts but they put up a 41 rwhp gain. I'll post it up on FB in the AM so folks can see the graph. Pretty awesome.

I think any of the Long Tube Headers are worth the money. Even the TSP pieces out up 30 to 35 easy.

Anybody hitting the Jemez Cruise this weekend??

I'm trying to make the cruise this weekend. Depends on how my prego wife feels and my daughter.

I'd love to get KOOKS but they are pricey. I'm probably going to do a 3.91 gear swap before headers tho.

I saw total gains of about 45-50HP with the intake, headers and tune. I don't know the exact number figure, because a base dyno run wasn't done while in stock form. I installed all my upgrades and took it straight to Ivan for a tune. She put down 413HP and I think 402TQ.

Nice, you will not be disappointed, specially with the price and quality. Headers on our cars are pretty easy to install too.

Not to steer anybody away but damn those OBXs are getting more and more popular around here. We've probably installed a dozen of them on the Camaros and they make power. Check those out as well

The 2" headers would definitely be awesome for future plans if you decide to go FI...

Once you've done them once, they are a breeze. Even the first time, they aren't bad.

Somebody who owned an LT1 FBody was involved in making the 5th Gen Camaro.....lol

Real cool. Hope to see some of you Sunday! Bring jackets.....

Yea I hear the 2in make more power and will help if I ever go FI.

I know these headers are a lot easier than 4th Gen Camaros. It took me 2 days to install my headers on my 98 SS, it was a royal pain even with a lift!!

The weather looks crappy the rest of the week.... And of course I wash and wax my car this am only to have it get rained on while I worked this evening!!!

[raidernation3017]

well I got my camaro back, I just wanted to say, I not going to mention any names Hof##%$@%T0wn, but the body shop I took my car to was the worst, it has to go back body kit is falling off body gaps are bad, sanding marks on the....Rant over

OBX is gaining alot of popularity, good price and quality on those. I am definitely going to try and make it on Sunday's cruise. The 1LE needs a good cleaning first, although, this Albuquerque weather might mess my plans up. Hopefully I see alot of you guys out there.
