First Time Camaro Owner- HELP

[Welker2]

Congratulations and welcome; nice ride and great color … not that I'm biased in any way

Op since I have done most mods except a cam if I did it all again I would start with the 391 gears and a 3200 or 3600 stall converter and a quality cat back exhaust. The 391s and a stall will give your a bigger kick in the ass then any of the usual mods hands down. Or skip the exhaust and put a set of longtube headers on. Then get the car tuned. A quality trans tune goes a long way. Ask members in your area if there is a good shop that could do the gear and stall at the same time then have them or yourself install the headers and tune everything at once. Then go hurts some feeling in your stock looking car.

Could you guys help me out with some quality full exhaust upgrades that will improve HP and sound? Links would be helpful!

Start from the front and work your way back. Get some long tube headers with or without high flow cats. Depending on your budget will depend on what to recommend. After that catback exhaust decisions are about as plentiful as 5th gen Camaros. Personally I like my Solo Mach XL catback, but I'd also recommend Stainless Works Retro Chambered catback, or Corsa. Solo and Corsa are guaranteed drone free and SW doesn't drone much if at all from what I've seen on friend's cars.

I will post pics ASAP. How would I go about upgrading me my rear end gears to 3.91? Yes, I am automatic with paddle shifters. I am mainly looking for performance mods. I already have a pretty good idea of what cosmetic mods I would like.

I absolutely loved my flowmaster outlaw cat back. It sounded like I think a muscle car should. After putting on long tube headers the outlaws were a little too loud so I put on some stock npp dual mode mufflers and that quieted it down just enough. Speed engineering is the brand of headers I have on, so far I’ve installed my own speed engineering headers, plus speed engineering headers on five other camaros and one corvette, never had an issue, and the quality is always great.
As for splitter I had the slp splitter until I got the zl1 bumper. There are some lower price eBay replicas out there that I hear are nice as well

Congrats and welcome! I would suggest you start by thinking about how much $$ you can spend to start your mods. This will go a long way in people here helping you, as many have already done these mods. Good Luck and let the mods begin!

Welcome. If you have factory NPP exhaust I can tell you headers sound absolutely awesomely obnoxious when you get on it (especially if you go catless). All headers are going to drone some when you run through the gears IMO, but at cruising speed not so much. At least mine don't.

could you guys help me out with some ideas for new gloss black rims/wheels?

Take your time and check on the boards for the type of mods that you want. With most things, you'll have to shop carefully and compare.

That's a damn good deal on an exhaust! Do you or does anyone have any actual experience with this one?

I was one of the lucky individuals to purchase the 16579 system(full catback) before they ran out. The exhaust system in that link is the same as mine but doesn't come with the resonated x pipe.
