So Im sending in my spare pcm for the two hundred dollar store credit, at first i was just going to get the zzp 3inch CAI.
However i recently had accident and am currently putting a brand new motor in my 06 ss sc and dealer says if i "mod" the motor within 10,000 miles they wont warranty it. I know if i had issues i could swap it back in a few minutes but was thinking i do want to lower it, so the question is:

do i use the credit for the cai or to get moar low? If i order the drop springs its a little out of my pocket but i would be right at 200 for the intake and k&n filter...


Thanks in advance for ur opinions

 

I'd order either springs or possibly get an Aeroforce gauge with pod. If you want to mod down the road, it will be a necessity.

 

Dual pass end plate and Strut bar

Or

Rear sway bar

 

springs for sure youll like it more than the intake i got both and i love the look it gave my car

 

Wait for black friday


I have the same credit :p

 

strut bar lol?

 

Do you have an SS/SC? Cause theres no way in hell you'd like springs over a 3 inch intake :P

 

I have a cheapo Cai now didn't think about the strut bar/ sway bar... I havent thought about black Friday either but I've heard it sucks u have to wait all day to get what u want,any truth to that?

 

Yea its supercharged and with a cheapo cai i love the sound lol

 

Go for the CAI
first performance mod i got LOVE the whine!

 

Personally id go CAI as well..

 

Catless Downpipe

 

yup you literally cant beat that whine... its the reason i bought the car and the intake just is... perfect

 

See I'd love to but that would void the warranty and that's nor something i can Change over in 15 minutes like a cai... Or I'd put it twards a stage two kit

 

good luck doing the CAI in 15 mins

 

Why couldnt you install a catless downpipe in 15 minutes its only five bolts and nuts.

If something happens that you need to take the car to the dealership remove the catless downpipe bolt the stock one back into there and go.

 

its a tight fit
you have to remove the wheel to get to the lower bolts of the stock intake

 

How did we go from installing a catless downpipe to remove a wheel for a intake?

 

thought u said CAI not catless my bad

 

Catless downpipes will not pass Emissions here in Colorado, SO i wouldnt recommend that.

 

My bad i thought the dp was welded on, and leemanfor is right it won't pass emissions here

 

yup DP is just 5 bolts
good luck getting them off the first time tho

my lower 2 rusted themselves to the resonator

 

And lemanfor ill new putting in my motor this weekend i think.

 

there is no need for a strut bar in these cars. the strut mounts are basically welded to the firewall. there is minimal flex as it is.

 

My choice of what to do with the credit was made for me by the car... damn fuel pump...
