well you could do an exhaust, either a cat-badck or full....

but since you have an RS, I HIGHLY recommend you get your headrests embroidered. Here is the link to the thread. I did it.....and even the guys at the dealer said it looks like it was done at the factory, and should have by GM!

How about
Injen power-flow CAI
Solo Performance MACH X-LLT

PoorMansCamaro · 02-28-2011, 05:32 PM

get some suspension stuff. Drop her an inch. Get trailing arms. they will prevent wheel hop. Better tires...All those are faily inexpensive.

How about doing something to save your engine ????
Get yourself a oil catch can

My favorite mod is the Magnaflow cat back, about $1000 installed.

I like my suspension mods too, but they were expensive.

I just ordered the RX catch can. They can color match your car.

True that! I did the same, and took the resonators off of mine. 788.00 installed. Sound has a nice deep roar to it.

Air inake & oil catch can: best low cost. Exhaust (axle back for lower cost) would be next for performance mods. Fender flares will save your paint & low cost, easy to install. Apperance: how about a custom bow tie? For a little more $ maybe a Heritage grill? Just my 2 cents.

How bout an air freshner... and a mirror ball!!

freddyboy · 03-01-2011, 01:32 AM
