WHEN WILL YOU START MODDING YOUR CAMARO? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm just curious to see exactly when you guys will start unleashing the potential of the LS3 and 3.6 V6.

Are you going to start getting your fingers dirty once you recieve it or will you just keep it stock?

I'm gonna let the LS3 break in until 5,000 miles while i save for an intake. followed by exhaust, and headers. Then some visual mods. I will be in no rush cause 426 hp will be fun for a long time.

I will probably have to wait til I get it paid off... if I started talkin about buyin mods for it my wife would kill me ..... seriously

NightmareSS · 03-25-2009, 09:40 PM

imma put in a full exhaust system from long tube headers, X pipe, cat back, and k&n intake...not sure what brand exaust...thinking bout kooks or slp LT and X pipe, with borla or magna flow cat backs...ill be doing this and getting new rims once i sell my current car after i get the camaro

NightmareSS · 03-25-2009, 09:41 PM

o and i must have them electric cut outs on the exhaust...them things are bad ass!

ZZcamaro · 03-25-2009, 09:43 PM

I will start the day after I take delivery. I am contracted to have some cool upgrades made using my vehicle for the prototype so stay tuned for that!!!!

1982camaro · 03-25-2009, 09:48 PM

i am 100% sure on changing the exhaust. All the SS reviews i have read all complain about the exhaust being too quiet.

Corsa, Borla, Flowmaster,magnaflow, GM, etc, they will all have many choices.

Riderover40 · 03-25-2009, 09:49 PM

I am hoping to grab up mods right away, starting with headers and exhaust and a tune, I will mod the intake myself open the throat , remove any restrictions and add a superflow oiless air filter...If the SLP hood is priced right I will do forced air induction......unless a supercharger will work wihtout heads modded ? Can't wait to see the results of everyone's mods !

CAI, shorties and cat back (something chambered) immediately. I won't mess with anything warranty voiding untill after it runs out though. Then I wan't to still keep it NA (I really have something against FI for some reason) so probably a tune, hot cam, pulley and some upgraded internals along with more extensive suspension mods.

Zabo · 03-25-2009, 09:52 PM

Well, first once the capslockizcruzeforkool fad wears off, I might put some fuzzy dice on the rear view..

Or a lemon scented pinetree air freshener..

OH! Maybe a fabreeze air vent thingie! That'd be awesome!

.. Eh, in all reality I'll just drive it like it is until I can afford upgrades that don't involve hopping the curb for the floating syringe of heroin.

SSOOCH · 03-25-2009, 09:54 PM

Does hanging a picture of baby jesus around the rearview mirror count as a modification?

If so...then the minute I sit in it!

1982camaro · 03-25-2009, 09:55 PM

i'm curious to see the potential of the v6. I want to see some forced induction or just some bolt-ons and see how it performs. Cant wait to see a Camaro V6 beast

o2camaross · 03-25-2009, 09:55 PM

as soon as the parts come out for it, full boltons, full exhaust, cam, tune, gears, yada yada yada
