For what you want, I would say go with an axleback exhaust. I believe most are around $400. The install is very easy. All you would have to do is cut off the big cans on the back off with a saw and clamp the new ones on. Or, if you want it welded on, you can go to a shop and have then install. Probably another $100 or less.

Geez, I love how someone wanting an opinion on his/her car just gets blown away with all the other BS commentary..
I debated about 1 min about what do I want, V6 or V8. Figured I'm gonna hang on to this car, so I'll splurge and get the V8 (which is also my daily driver - 35+ miles R/T). No regrets. But I don't rag on someone else who ONLY has a V6.. Seriously, 312 HP is NOT slow and can keep up with and/or beat some of the other stuff out there. And, it's a Camaro. Nuff said. Mods: Wish I could afford more (I think it's a sickness and I've got it). Mine are mostly "appearance" vs performance at this point. Started with tint, then a CAI Inc, CAI (did it myself too - so you know it's gotta be easy). Looking for exhaust right now (also looking for cheap, no drone - opinions, please). Appearance mods added were additional Red SS badges on the fenders (to match the front/rear), bowtie vinyl to Red, Ghost Armor Radio Protector, Emblempros Dash Plaque, Showstopper LED Side Mirrors (I'm also on the group buy for their LED Sidemarkers), Lloyd's car mats - a must, just got my Victory Red painted Showstopper brake calipers too, getting them put on Saturday. Good Luck. |

I'm guessing your talking about the 4 pack gauges? If you buy the correct one (there are 4 of them) through GMPP they have all the necessary harnesses to install on a 1SS or 1LT/LS car. If you bought the wrong one, or you just bought one that is a replacement part for a 2SS or 2LT, then that will not work....you need the additional harness. Hope this helps. To the OP...depending on which exhaust setup you go with, most exhausts on the cheaper side (and that still sound good) will run you around 4 to 6 hundred dollars. (4 or 5 if you can install yourself...or maybe another additional 100 for a shop to do it)

Bro there has to be sooo many mods. Your going to love your car the more you work on it. Cai would be a very good choice for first mod. Very easy install for a newbie. Mufflers are also pretty easy install. Check the sites on v6 exhaust can't loose. Check out Barton short throws. Also auto shifters very easy install. Nothing better than doing stuff your self.

it comes with a new one. it is more "work" to install, but it has proven to be one of the better intakes, if not the best. If you don't want to go that route, then the CAI inc intake is good, so i hear.nothing to replace with that one.

Not as hard as it looks to install. I did mine without removing the wheel as recommended. It took 1 hour with hand tools and taking my time to ensure everything was done perfectly.

Um...its the v6 guys that got thier panties in a bunch when I advised the guy on what I would do. I never attacked him. Maybe they have buyers remorse. 312hp is not slow....its not fast either. Its a power rating. LOL. "312" may be fast in a smaller car...but in a 3800lb car its not. 14s are slow and you will get walked by Maximas. Its just the way it is. I told him I would get a CAI and an axle back and stick to appearance mods.....why you guys take offense to that is beyond me. |
