+1 to suspension mods

Could do aesthetic mods, engine compartment mods, interior mods, cat-back or axle-back.
Could get the ADM Scoop & Roto-Fab reservoir relocation kit to compliment your intake.

Or could just be ridiculous and get one of there:

For me, 5 years without modding would be torture.

one thing to point out also is this, IMO it is way cooler to have a modded camaro right now compared to 5 years from now when they are every where and a lot of people have mods. i rarely see camaros on the road has modded as mine, ( at a car meet and show its different ).

I decided I was going to put on headers and get a tune, but thought I'd take it to the dealer to repair "the" oil leak before the tune voided my warranty. So I take it to the dealer, they say it's the oil cooler and they "fixed" it. Took it to JDP Motorsports for the headers and tune, and wouldn't you know it...I still have an oil leak.

That's what you're going to miss with no more warranty--taking it back to the dealer 3 times for the same repair. Do I think the dealer is going to fix their screw-up now that I have headers and a tune? Not a chance.

Maybe high flow cats and freer flowing exhaust .. I think you will be fine without a tune and probably gain as much as your air intake ... I also think that ADM had a stage 1 cam or something that didn't require a retune!!

Unless they can show that the headers caused the leak they should repair it, They could maybe try to argue that something was damaged durring install I guess.

If they refuse, you could fight it and win but it's not worth it. Just go to another dealer

The worrenty is crap anyway, just do what you want with your car! Having drive train problems can happen, but most likely you will be fine! My car had 25k of trobble free miles, now its mod time! Just dont go dumping your clutch every day, and driving like an a$$ hole.

Dosin · 07-01-2011, 03:58 PM

High flow catalytic converter. Makes the sound better. Almost like it is cammed.

MTI Racing Kevin · 07-01-2011, 04:01 PM

Installing headers on your Camaro will give you a nice bump in HP that you can really feel when driving the car. With the cold air, headers and a tune you can see 50hp or more to the rear wheels. Tuning will not damage your car as long as it is done properly. We have tuned many Camaros from mild to wild builds with no adverse effect from tuning. GM always leaves a little on the table when it comes to the stock tune, so just doing a dyno tune on a stock Camaro will yield somd HP and TQ.

When introduced, Chevy promised shorty headers, exhaust and CAI, they anticipated the added HP, of course they only brought out the cat-back exhaust. But what would shorty's, exhaust and CAI add? They designed the componets to be safe with that added HP and torque, and probably more, what engineer doesn't add a safety factor, of course they went bankrupt, reorganized and although they make a lot of money on each Camaro, they have the resourses to fight individual owners. I vote for they designed for much more HP and torque.

The warranty is there to stop you from having fun with your car.

Void that warranty! It's very liberating!
