got an installment on my bonus so im interested in buying
intercooler
3" exhaust
highflow catted d/p
charge pipe
intercooler piping
dyno tune

most parts will probably be hahn cuz ive heard good things and im willing to pay a lil more

already have AEP intake and gms1 turbo upgrade, but what kind of hp/trq gains am i looking at with these upgrades and will the stock drivetrain and engine handle it ok? will it significantly degrade the life of my car? what upgrades would you do for the same pricerange? if it does degrade the lifespan what upgrades could i do to counteract this?

thanks

Get a ZZP IC, a ZZP catted downpipe, and a IamBroke, Term2, or CCSS3 tune. Call it a day. Hahn is overpriced and not worth the money. If you really feel like you need chargepiping, just buy the Injen with upgraded clamps/couplers or the ZZP with upgraded couplers. You don't really need it, though. Some of us have been running around on 24 psi for years without chargepipe issues. Like they say, "go fast, not broke."

If you stay with the GMS1 tune, just save your money. It's a canned tune and these parts aren't going to net anything.

Any increase in power is going to degrade your drivetrain more quickly. Power is stress.

Your drivetrain can handle 350hp/370tq, stock, btw.

 

I didn know you were from kathmandu.

 

Just about anything you do to the car will be safe with a GOOD tune. No you will not be putting anything in your engine/drivetrain at risk with those mods, except your clutch. With a good tune you'll overpower the stock clutch no problem. Other than that, with a good tune, not breaking stuff is all knowing how to drive. Depending on how aggressive the tune is (and which dyno you would use), you'll probably see anywhere between 320-340 whp and 380-420 wtq

 

like said above save your money and don't buy hahn. yeah they have lowered some prices but the quality still really isn't there. go with zzp, treadstone, injen cp's are good. any mods you choose are gonna be safe with a good tune. of course chevycobaltss3 is da **** lol....there are plenty of good tuners here who can hook you up

 

Don't let the opaque, white skin fool you.
