First Performance Mod?

[DarkAceXXX]

Im looking in to do my first mod and i can't decided what it should be so i decided to ask for help.

Thanks.

It's not necessarily a performance mod, but if you've got a manual transmission, I highly recommend the skip shift eliminator, especially if you do a lot of stop and go driving in town. Nice and cheap too, usually less than $20.

Intake is usually everyones first mod

I said the same thing about a week ago and everyone said headers. Got a few people that said springs and sways one or two CIA but the majority said headers....HP increase and better sound was their reasoning...and I agreed plus a good set of long tubes is maybe a hundred or two above a CIA I went with obx headers they cost me less than 600 with o2 sensors, and non catted mid pipes

Did you put the headers on already? i was thinking the same thing but i don't really wanna tune my car. Did the cat less give you a check engine light?

Cold Air Inductions brand seems very reputable, quality, and excellent bang for the buck! Free shipping, and get a free filter recharge kit when you buy one from JacFab

Some say it will some say it won't if you get the o2 sensors with them...I will have to wait to find out as I haven't received my headers yet.

All including forum sponsors say you don't require a tune till you have both a CIA and headers. I for one don't plan on getting a tune till I drive to Dallas and have Andy at ADM install a fast 102 and one of their CIA (I've heard nothing but good things about them..the work and their parts).

Oh and Andy if your catch this I'll be giving you a call for those parts and tune in a month or so lol

Don't waste your money on headers without a tune, at least that's what I've heard.

Cat-back and CAI (for sound and realistically +10 HP). After that, you're probably done without a tune and then you have to decide on the warranty situation.

I got a GMPP axle back for free when I purchased my car. However, the first mod I did was a Roto-fab cold air intake and a custom tune by Jannetty. The car feels night and day. I am very happy with my car now. Much more happy than when it was stock.

CAI might be the first mod I would recommend to you. It looks cool, you dotn have to get a tune, and it sounds awesome when you are pressing down the gas!

Maybe some vinyl over the gold bow ties? Maybe some suspension mods to get a cool stance and make the car handle better?

Once you start, you wont stop. Just write them on a piece of paper and see which one you pull from the bowl???
