Alright guys. Got everything off the used car and all the stock stuff put back on. Started it up and it runs just fine. No weird idle or anything. I'll test drive it tomorrow to see if it has any strange driving characteristics but it looks like I won't even have to reprogram the pcm back to stock. Will keep you guys updated.

My car was at the dealership getting a knocking noise in the rear taken care of. I had already diagnosed it myself as the rear knuckle and bushing, so they replaced that stuff and then somehow managed to damage the hub assembly?! Anyways it all got fixed and I finally got to install the intake on my car and I can only say 'wow'

1. Roto-fab makes a high quality intake. Had zero fitment issues and it looks incredible.
2. The noise is awesome and I know just adding it to a bone stock car doesn't improve things too much, it honestly feels like it woke my car up. Maybe it's just the noise. Maybe it's the slight increase in power. Maybe a combination of both. But it really feels like it woke the car up. Very pleased with it.
3. Today I'll be installing the headers and cats!! Very excited. Then I gotta try to make an appointment for a tune.

To be completely stand up you should have the 2010's computer checked for a tune. With long tube headers it most likely has an aftermarket tune and will cause the new buyer a headache down the road.

After all your getting your tuned now. Think about.

I'm taking it to my buddy to have it put back to stock. Sorry I didn't update that part.
I did drive it and it just to see if there were any issues and it drives great. Definitely better than stock, which impressed me.

You mean under the rubber part?

I don't know who you going to get to tune it but there's tons of great tuners here in Houston area. I had my Roto-fab intake put on my car at Phastek and with out no tune, gave me extra 20whp over the stock intake................

1LE Timmy · 08-22-2015, 04:49 PM

Got the headers and cats installed today. Let's see if this video link works

1LE Timmy · 08-26-2015, 11:53 AM

Have an appointment tomorrow for a tune. Very excited! I'll post up the results when I get them.

Same here. Lots of perks working at Chevy & Pontiac dealers in the past. Used cars, parts, device, all on the cuff.... The good old days.

Yeah, not sure you can get it off either

I picked up 53rwhp with those mods and 6 mph in the 1/4, in an auto. Very much worth it.

Homeless Man · 08-26-2015, 09:45 PM

The stock exhaust with longtube headers and hiflow cats is still kinda loud. And yea it's good that you are changing the 2010 tune back to stock because that is what needs to be done.
