What stuff are you guys thinking of doing then? We can't do headers obviously, I've heard that cat back exhaust doesn't add too much power if any, and tune for a manual seems low on the list as you said. So I'm thinking CAI for sure, but performance wise I'm not sure what else to do except be patient I guess lol. What are other LFX owners thinking?

CAI brand cai, perhaps a cat-back, ported throttle body. That's about it for the engine until more comes out (possible TB spacer).
Far higher on my list should be sub-frame inserts and goodies to tighten up the suspension. Later maybe move to lower it slightly/coil-overs/sway bars. Wheels and tires. For me, I'd want to get as much mileage out of my dollars as possible, and at around $400 for the CAI that adds 15+ rwhp, that's a gimme. Ported throttle body may/may not add much peak, but should make it more responsive. That's less than $200 after core charge. John B. |

I was on the SOLO website, and I saw high flow cats for the LLT but nothing for the LFX specifically. Will they work for both?

Im not a hundred percent sure but I want to say they will give me a second to verify it for you. Also as you can tell I'm not done adding parts to the list above^^^^ so everyday you check back there should be more and as new ones come on the market. I am currently adding some right now

Do high flow cats add any noticeable amount of power?

Had high flow cats on a '96 Impala SS. Started out with Borla headers and a flowmaster cat back. Added the cats later. Noticed a bit more pick up, esp from a rolling start

So with a CAI and high flow cats, we're probably looking at approx. 350 HP? That's not too shabby...

too bad we cant get headers otherwise it'd be closer to 365hp, with mace working on CAM's in the near future we should be able to go north of 400 though
