just wanted to say hi...i am new to the lnf section of css.net, i just sold my lsj and got a lnf
went from a 2007 ss/sc coupe to a 2009 ss/tc sedan.
is there anything as far as mods people suggest off the bat? car is bone stock, not even the gms1

 

congratulations...?


how many miles are on the sedan?? oh an pics

 

Welcome!

Intake and exhaust are popular mods.

 

Nice swap!

Air box mod, downpipe, tune. Start there.

 

ya get an Intake, full exhaust, charge pipes and a tune but not GMS1! get a real tune.

 

^^this

Downpipe, airbox mod or Cold air intake or SRI

 

If you get a intake system, make sure it is K&N it is known to be one of the best. We sell a couple each day.

 

^this.. and I'd add a FMIC although it's really not all that necessary unless ur in a hot air area, or plan on going bigger in future. It could help a little otherwise, but not worth the money I don't think. ZZP downpipe is my fav, as is their FMIC. Exhaust, I'd recommend Modern Performance, and as Aaron @ TurboTechRacing said, K&N short ram is quite possibly the best intake for the turbo balts.. I have one and I love it.
If u plan on going over redline and/or high boost, you'll also need ZZP 78 or 82# valve springs, or their head/cam combo, depending on your future goals; otherwise you could end up popping rockers/lifters. Just a word of caution is all. I think some guys have got away with not having this happen, but everyday I see more and more having this occur.

 

if you want exhaust. go for turbo XS, best for price.

 

Since they have been released we have sold a ton! They are great, I have one.

I junked my Hahn that did nothing than clunked on my rear beam. Turbo xs fits like a glove! Better price too!

 

I'm currently on hold on my 09 SS/TC sedan - my current mods are "only" a K&N Typhoon intake and GMS1 tune, and I'm reasonably happy. The GMS1 is scorned - compared to a trifecta or HP, it's positively tame, but here are my thoughts - with the GMS1 you get the wider band MAPs and a tune that, while tame, still kicks ass compared to the stock tune. The K&N gives the car the turbo noise and breathing.

I still think the GMS1 is a decent enough kit for the price, and I like the MAP sensor upgrades for further upgrades - I at least have spare MAPs now!

I suspect improved pipes - a catted downpipe at least - followed by an aftermarket tune are my next moves.

 

grats on getting the best color

just picked mine up recently, came with Injen CAI and it sounds awesome.

Next i plan on down pipe, muffler delete than HP Tune.

 

or buy the sensors (cheap as hell on crateenginedepot.com) and do a tune when you install them

 

Downpipe, intake(or mod) tune done.

 

^^^ Yea. The most basic bolt on mods are downpipe, intake, and a tune (Trifecta or HPT) These will offer the best performance gain for your buck.

 

K&N intake, downpipe and a tune. Youll be set for a while

 

I would have just gone aftermarket on the tune, 'cept for one thing - I was still deep under warranty when I did it, so GMS1 made a hellava lotta sense, and a few bucks well spent. I was still toying with the idea of a trifecta tune hidden under that GMS1, so my 'stock' tune would be better than base, with the more hardcore a button push away. A couple c-notes well spent so far, since I've had fun with the GMS1 and CAI.

 

SS Sedans FTW!!!!!!!!!

welcome!

 

sorry it took soo long to reply. thank you for all the welcome and the advice. money is a little tight at the moment so it is gonna have to remain stock for now.. but i do plan on getting gms1 (still got much warranty left).. and here are the pictures requested.

 

SRTC FTwhaaaaaat!

sedans are the jam! i have the same one. take the muffler off,alot of people think its loud but i think its perfect!

 

How do you like the sound of the Turbo Xs compared to your hahn I'll be swapping mines out. soon with income taxes plus few other mods.

also congrats in the purchase i have a 4dr sedan as well.

 

Do you miss the supercharger whine?

 

Hmmmm. Looking at that tint coat, maybe a set of rims or tint coat yours? The color's great, but the stockers don't do the color justice!

 

I COMPLETELY AGREE

 

sslo i do miss the whine soo much but the sound of spool up is very nice to hear as well
