To Mod or not to Mod? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm done.... CAI and exhaust. I'm keeping the original parts for the future. IMO this car does not need cosmetic mods. Looks awesome from the factory !!

I'm on the fence. I don't think of the car as "not mine" until I mod it. It IS mine. I don't care if Joe Blow on the street also happens to have one - this one is mine. That's like saying your mass-produced shoes aren't yours. Sure they are.

I don't want to void my warranty. I don't want to lose any mileage. I don't want the car so loud it is annoying to take on long trips. I will be blacking the bowties, because I don't like the black car/silver wheels/GOLD bowtie look, & I'm debating CAI and exhaust because most here feel it fulfills my above criteria of wanting to improve the car w/out too many negatives.

So I'll refrain from voting for now.

Modify, u have to make it ur own.

I only plan on a Roto-Fab CAI, Corsa 3" Or Magnaflow 3" exhaust with x-pipe & Eibach Pro-Street-S coilover suspension

I obviously want everyone to mod their Camaro

The only thing I realy want to do is a cold air intake without those bulky resonators on there.

I plan on a few mods down the road. However, I'm really happy with it stock!!

tl;dr

I plan on modding mine once I have it for a while.
First things on my list are exhaust, remote turbo and carputer (the iPod thing is great but I want all 500GB of my music in my car

overkill I know, but isn't what modding is for?). I'm really looking at SLPs stuff. Anyone know if a good exhaust mod that is quiet on idle (i want barely inauidable onidle, so I can be hidden) but at the same time will roar (a nice roar but nothing that will kill the ears of people on the road, i dont want to sound like the seriously modded Camaro)? Looking for something subtle but effective... Also thinking about modding the hood/front fender for the z28 look and adding some sort of supercharger after a few years...
