I'm really not sure on where to go from here I just installed my fujita cold air intake i also have a slp cat back exhaust im just wondering should i install the headers and down pipe or do i do the stage 2 kit or is there something else i should do first. Oh by the way wow the power from them 2 upgrades is great i cant wait till i get more done. Also who is a good dealer to go through

 

stg 2

 

Stage II all the way!!

 

what he said ^^^

 

well if you plan on buying a twinscrew kit or turbo kit the stage 2 is a waste but if not getting any kits then get stage 2 kit great upgrade

 

Really so the stage 2 is that much huh

so is it hard to install should i take it to the dealer or is it a do it at home job

 

Stage 2 FTMFW!

Check around I got my S2 kit from www.crateenginedepot.com for $500.00

 

sweet thats not to expensive the header and down pipe is like $700 i guess the stage 2 is a lot more hp for your money

 

its not "difficult", but if you do it at home you have to get your ECU flashed somehow, plus you wont have your warrenty if you install it at home..

 

i lost the warranty already putting the cat back and intake on

 

How'd you loose the warranty from that???

You are still fine... you only lost the warranty on the parts directly related to the exhaust if you ever have a problem!

Stage 2 is going to be more beneficial to you than doing an D/P and Header... you might start loosing power because of the increased piping diameter without the mods to make it worth while!

 

so what your saying is the only warranty i lost was towards the exhaust and intake nothing else or does that include the motor and tranny but drive train is still covered

 

That is the new laws governing aftermarket parts and automotive warranties.

If you put an intake on your car and you have problems with your brakes they cannot void your brakes... but if your MAF sensor becomes clogged or damaged and they can prove it was from the intake than it's voided on the MAF but not the whole car!

 

but if your intake sucks up water and hydolocks the motor, it would void your warranty... Basically they have to prove that the aftermarket park caused the malfunction

 

If you plan to keep modding your can you might wanna hold off on the stage 2 though, Personally i thought it was a waste.

Also, it's cause i bought it from the factory. Every part of the stage 2 i'm going to be upgrading within the next two months (bigger fuel injectors, smaller pulley, pulley tensioner, and i have a custom tune)...That's just my 2 cents though...

 

WOW.... Waste of money not really! More power and GM guarantee's it like it was originally on the car, makes swapping pullies easier, oh yeah and keeps the GM Warranty!

 

well thats cool i figured that once i put the parts on my car the whole warranty was gone i didn't want to put their shitty exhaust on my car im glad i didn't thanks guys anyways what is the cheapest route to get the stage 2 from the dealer or from someone on here

COOLING MODS!!!!!!! I say cooling mods. even stock you'll see big gains. Look at my sig. BTW, I'm faster than a stg2 car.

 

And which ones have you done?

 

cobra heat exchanger and meth injection. the raised rev limit that I have contributes to being faster than a stg2 car though. I think the stock rev limit is garbage and drops you out of the power band when you shift.

 

14.4 isn't faster then a stage 2 car... please, just stop.

 

weak dude thats funnny

 

lolz

 

ya he better get ready to get flamed!
