what next?
this topic may have been posted elsewhere, but i just bought and installed the injen cai a few weeks ago (absolutely love it). on the exhaust, i have made my decision to get the gmpp cat-back and the extrude honed manifold. but i was wondering if i should upgrade the exhaust for air flow purposes, or if it wouldnt hurt my car to buy the stage 2 from gm

so how much would the progress rear sway bar help the car?
and also, what about new eibach lowering springs? does the car still work fine with them? i mean, is there anything else i would have to get?

I would get the exhaust, and stage 2 before the bar, and springs, you will get more out of your stage 2 and exhaust imo, then the sway bar and springs, liek he said it wil improve handling with the bar, and your stock shocks and struts should be good with the eibach sportlines, prokit, or sportlines, i have the sportlines on my car, its more of a agressive drop then the prokit, and my car rides fine on them.

I asked this same question about 2 months ago when I first joined this site. Got the same advise from the same people. Got my exhaust system sitting in boxes in the garage waiting to go on ( hard to find time to mod when you've got a new born on your hands ). Guess I just wanted to say to zach, these are some good knowledgeable people. Read and learn, then apply what you've learned. Be like a sponge, young apprentice. ROCKS
And if you get the Eibachs, make sure you get the camber adjustment kit, prevents uneven tire wear.

Personally, I started with the GMPP exhaust, then stage 2, and I just put on the ingalls engine damper. I have an Injen intake en route right now
I have got to say, the GMPP exhaust sounds niiiice and gives decent gains, and the stage 2, it just kicks ass.

You cant just add up advertised gains and get to 260Whp. I would guess with everything you listed 235-240. Every dyno is different , so get a stock baseline and mod from there .
