Changed my oil the other week at 51% on dash..
This catch can is almost Half full..
I can imagine the V6 will do almost that much seeing it has to work that my harder..
My 1 cent.. Government took my other penny.

Wow, almost half full? I have never even seen that much in cars that are blown. That would worry the shit out of me, if my newer car was consuming that much oil. I would worry about bigger problems than the oil going into my combustion chamber. I would worry about why it's even getting there

3. Skip shift eliminator
4. Dashboard ambient lighting

And still deciding between snow tires or a winter beater...

X-Pipe i really should do that my muffler delete and glasspack replacement has that obnoxious drone at 1500-2k rpm i don't mind it but i think my fiance is getting a migraine from it when she takes a ride in the camaro. Anyone know if i add some sound dampener insulation like dynamat etc. to my trunk if that'll help aswell?

chevy 3 · 11-05-2012, 12:56 PM

"J" pipes on the end of your exhaust. I've read that in the exhaust section. That gets rid of drone so it says.

NewDivide · 11-05-2012, 01:12 PM

I'm living in drones-ville myself. I'm almost thinking of swapping out for a Solo cat back.

2010CamaroRS · 11-05-2012, 01:43 PM

i dont think there is ONE aftermarket exhaust that doesnt come bundled with at least some drone...its the price we pay for reducing weight lol

chuck what are these J pipes?

2010CamaroRS · 11-05-2012, 02:58 PM

i didn't get mine for the weight reduction i wanted to hear something from my exhaust the stock mufflers were terrible for that.

Well my winter mods are already under way. Once completed im going to let my wallet fill back up and take the winter off on mods. Im sure ill see something shinny and that will change...but we will see.

As of right now im in the process of Installing the Rideskinz Aggressor LTZ bumper. Will be painted IOM with Brillian black pearl center and ports. Will be repainting the under side of my hood, Adjusting and custom mounting the hood struts so i dont have to take them out everytime i put the hood down. Will be Adding black Grand sport stripes to the side fenders and will be painting the center of the rear ground effects brilliant black pearl to match the front.

Thats pretty much it for this winter. Spring i will be doing 5% tint and then saving up for Cam install and longtubes for the following year

One-Bad-ZL1 · 11-05-2012, 05:46 PM

That's IT?

Sounds a little light, Tim. Just kidding pal. Can't wait to see it.
