what should my first mod be?

[tmc2k1]

Ive had my 2001 Firebird 3.8L V6 for 2 months and now she is ready for some mods. What are some recommended mods i should start up with and in what order i should do them in and how much is it going to cost? Thanks guys!

Re: what should my first mod be?

intake and exhaust should always be the first mods. for the 3.8 the Free ram air mod is popular and there is also a few different cold air kits. id say buy a whisper lid and get a nice catback. not sure on the exact cost of the whisper lid but the exhaust will vary depending on what you go with. check the sticky up top and take a look at different catbacks i posted. pick one you like and go from there. best bang for you buck IMO is the Texas speed rumbler catback @ 200 bucks + cost of what ever tips you put on there.

ill look into the texas catback. How are the magnaflow catbacks?

exhaust first, i love my flowmaster. then you would want to do your intake. slp are good for our cars. then sick a whisper lid and k&n air filter.

that is good start

Intake/exhaust are always good first mods.

If it's a M5 a short shifter is a good first mod too. After that, I would say gears and LSD, if you don't have one, or LCA and sub frame connectors if you want to improve the problems with the stock suspension.

I just got a rate from Meineke for a flowmaster catback system like 2 days ago. $325 installed. Which I don't think is all that bad. I was thinking $400 with labor and all.

Are magnaflows more expensive?

Re: what should my first mod be?

yes but not by much IIRC. magnaflow is a very nice catback.

Re: what should my first mod be?

When you said $325 im assuming that covers the cost of the actual flowmasters? How much am i thinking with magnaflows installed? Can you get them and installed at a place or do u need to buy them first? thanks
