$2000 Bucks

Ok i took out a $2000 loan to do things to my 05 Cobalt SC/SS. Any idea'a of what would be the best things to spend it on? I know that i want the Magnaflow Catback $480. and the K&N CAI $200. Im mainly am going for performance although i may order a Carbon Fiber SS Hood.

Don't do it. Just make your payments for now and save some extra cash and mod a little at a time. 1 loan is better than 2.

The first mods done should be intake, exhaust, and headers so you can support any other mods with correct air flow. Then stage 2 upgrade from gm so the air/fuel is straight. Other than that carbon fiber everything.

I know for sure the Intake, because i went to the dyno this weekend and i was running rich from the factory. So i hoping that the intake will make it run a little lean and even it out.
