With some tax refund money coming I have a little to spend now...

Here's my delima:

ADM Race Intake - for more power & slightly better mpg

or

SLP LM II Axle-Back - for better sound, appearance, & a few less pounds

Which one would you guys choose?

IMO....go with the sound! LMII.....

The car probably has good enough power for you at the moment. They just sound kinda weak with the factory mufflers.

+1, sound was my first major mod.

tjbusa · 01-10-2010, 09:27 PM

Muscle car sound now, I've had the LMII installed within 3 days after I got my camaro and now have a Full SLP header package but I'm still on the fence on which CAI I want.

Exhaust for sure. The sound makes you think its faster.

*The_Blur* · 01-10-2010, 09:36 PM

I vote for neither. Don't get an exhaust until you can also afford long tube headers and high-flow catalytic converters. The intake will likely be worthless if you ever get a supercharger, so consider that if you plan on someday getting one.

Well it's good for 20rwhp untuned so it won't be worthless, just saying. Sound it is though. I'll be glad when I don't see those factory mufflers hanging down anymore!

Id say buy ADM Race Intake - for more power & slightly better mpg-the only reason though, is because I would recommend instead of some axle-backs, buy some catbacks.

Decisions decisions..

2010 SSRS · 01-11-2010, 10:30 AM

Exhaust.

Sean@Phastek · 01-11-2010, 10:46 AM

power gains - cold air intake

sound improvement - axle-back exhaust

(on the 2010 camaro)

StlRomAniaN · 01-12-2010, 05:20 PM

how about BOTH?!
