Possible mods for a 2012 RS
So I bought a plan silver 2012 RS convertible 2 months ago. First thing I did was add stripes and other appearance mods. As far as performance is concerned, I changed the exhaust so that I have a nice aggressive sound. I also installed a cold air intake. I've also removed the factory fuel management settings on the ECM to get max performance from the engine. It now accelerates soooo much faster than before. Anyway, I was curious for ideas as to what else I can do on that 3.6L For performance without tearing into the engine. Any ideas? Thanks.

I am very happy with my Vararam ram-air intake, very noticeable difference over stock. I also did the ported throttle body upgrade. Other than that my mods are similar to yours, cat back X-pipe exhaust with Lingenfelter by Corsa mufflers, custom dyno ECU tune.

Plenty of info on the V6 boards
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=222713 Pretty much just a matter of how much you want to spend.

Nothing, really. I had full bolt ons with e85 and tune and barely got over 300 whp in my old lfx. I kind of felt like I wasted a lot of money at the end and should have just saved up a couple thousand more for forced induction.
That being said, just go check out the engines /exhaust/bolt on section for v6s on this site

You can also look into a steeper differential gear set.
