Hey guys! I have been a member of the forum for a little bit now and wanted to give a somewhat proper introduction since I haven't before. I purchased my 2011 SS back in May on Memorial Day weekend! I can remember being a detailer at a local Chevy dealership when the Camaro finally made it's return and I had always wanted one since they came back and now it's so good to finally be back in a Camaro. I miss having a V8 to drive during the spring to fall months. Didn't take long after I got her home that the modifications began. Started with the simple fuse pull because who knows what fuel was ran through the poor thing before I purchased it. Blackouts have been done on the taillights and side markers compliments to BigWormGraphix. Bought a SCT X4 thanks to Steve and RDP to get the transmission tuned and have the AFM disabled before exhaust work was done. And now this past weekend I had some exhaust work done. Purchased a Stainless Works Muffler delete kit from a member on here as well as an x pipe from Summit Racing. Had both of those put on as well as having the secondary cats deleted and I couldn't be happier! Sounds amazing! No drone whatsoever imo, the x pipe makes it sound almost like an exotic sports car, and the decel pop/cackle sounds great. It is loud when I get on it but still sounds like it has a good tone to it and it isn't raspy. And it's nice that it is relatively quiet if it is driven in a reserved manner. I would recommend this exhaust setup for sure and no offense to the guys with the Magnaflow Resonated x pipe but I'm glad I didn't go that route because it would have been too quiet for myself. I'm thinking Speed Engineering Headers will be in the very near future as well as some other modifications. But for now I'm happy to be apart of this great forum. Cheers guys

Congrats! Black is the best color.

2010 or 2011? You have 2010 in your avatar info box, but 2011 in the post.

Thanks guys! Yeah it is a little overdue sorry about that! I honestly got so sucked into researching and reading about so many upgrades that I even forgot to a little introduction. @Royal Tiger, it's a 2011 and I fixed it in my profile but good catch!
