Need help choosing first mod - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

J98 · 03-26-2014, 10:11 AM

I recently got a 2010 Camaro SS and finally decided to start doing some modifications to it. After doing a lot of reading I decided I want to start with either a cold air intake or an exhaust, but do not know which mod I should purchase first. The exhaust I want is the Flowmaster Outlaw series catback while the cold air intake is from Cold Air Inductions. I would like to hear your opinion on where I should begin.

catback adds no power.
do cai, its very good.
then headers with a tune.

CAI first, then Catch Can followed by exhaust.

Do the CAI, and get the racing scoop+WW relocate kit.

Only change I would recommend is flipping the catch can in front of the CAI.

Catch can, CAI with scoop and relocation, exhaust, ported throttle body, then headers with a tune.

If you plan to add LT headers at all, then I would leave any exhaust mods to the end. The LT's will change the sound of the exhaust so its best to move from the from to the back.

Honestly it doesn't make too much difference on what order you do those particular mods, it's not going to hurt doing them in any random order you want, but if you do want some help, send me a PM or check our listing below for the Flowmaster exhaust if you want to start there:

Whatever mod(s) you choose know this:

Very true. I bought my ss used with 16k and it had cherry bomb cat back with an x pipe. I did cai with scoop then added headers and ended up replacing everything but the x pipe.
