So I test drove the SS/tc today and absolutely love it. It was black with the high spoiler. So I was wondering if getting the performance upgrades for it thru GM's performance division is worth the cost. Right now I'm thinking of getting the performance air-intake as well as the performance cat-back exhaust and the performance exhaust manifold.


So my question is, are these upgrades worth the extra cost, and how much extra HP will I get with them? The salesman says I should get 25-30 more HP with all the of added upgrades. Anyone know this for sure or whatever? And are there more performance upgrades I can get thru GM?

Also, does anyone know what the carbon-fiber interior trim kit and side door window bezel looks like? I don't like the colored ones, but if I'm thinking of what the carbon-fiber will look like, I think that would look sweet. At least if it looks anything like the carbon fiber does in the Corvette interior:


Anyway, any help would be great! Thanks!

 

i have a 06 yellow ss/sc and i just ordered the carbon fiber trim kit, hasnt came in yet but i think it would look good

 

The only upgrades you could use there is the exhaust. The manifold and the intake aren't for the LNF.

 

The manifold and the intake will not work on the SS/TC.

In fact, the intake won't even work on the SS/SC.

 

the exhaust manifold and air intake will not fit the turbo, im not sure about the cat back though

 

The air intake and exhaust manifold you have linked will not fit the engine. They are built for the supercharged 2.0 (LSJ), you will be purchasing the 2.0 turbo (LNF)

The exhaust will not help performance wise until you get a tune. The power of the car is limited by the computer. You could put on every bolt on available and it will still limit itself to 260 torque. It WILL, however, be beneficial when tuning is available for this car.

 

The site says it fits but thats got to be wrong. And if your dealership told you to put them parts oon your car you need a new dealership

 

The trim kit looks beautiful. Its excatly like the Corvette sytle.

 

Well thanks guys! You all just saved me 2 grand. I guess my salesman doesn't know what he's talking about. So are there gonna be any GM performance upgrades for this car then?

What about the interior trim. Any more opinions on the the carbon fiber look?

Thanks again!

 

there will be eventually
just wait
and i like the carbon fiber
i want it for mine now where did you find it? lol

 

I bet that manifold will bolt right up to the head. Don't think anything else will after it though...

 

Yeah hold on, ill post what the dealership has access to.
This is everything dealerships have.

i just ordered the carbon fiber overlays off ebay lol only 40 bucks and it pretty much covers everything

 

Just buy the car.

 

Overlays are ok, but dash trim kit is perfectly done.

 

The GM performance exhaust isn't going to help the SS/TC , its too small for a turbo car .

 

Okay, another quick question... Someone mentioned to me that I can get the car 'tuned' or whatever and 'unlock' more hp out of it. I also noticed on this forum topic that Hahn had modded their car with their tuner. What does that mean? What is a car tuner and what does it do and what does it mean for me?

Thanks.

 

There are different devices used to tune your car to get the most power out of it. Some tunning devices like piggyback fuel controllers will pull fuel from your injectors to lean you out creating more power, this process takes someone with a lot of experience with your platform I would stay away from this for now. Some cars also have flashes or different pcms(the cars computer) that are basically a plug and play tune. I believe you have quite a few available, kits are also available with performance components such as pulleys and injectors to optimize the tune of that specific pcm. You can get much more bang for the buck with aftermarket components and I believe there are quite a few plug and play kits available for pretty cheap.

that carbon fiber kit looks very sick. very nice option, I didn't even know it was available.

 

can someone pm me where i can purchase the carbon fiber trim kit..please? 2006 cobalt ss/sc
