ok... some background; i am looking to get a little extra umph outta my camaro and i don't have much to do it with, but what i do will probably go into it because cars make me happy :) .
I have a 96 teal 3.8 v6 camaro with 130k (first car). I don't believe its a Y87 but it has rear disk brakes and i believe that to be the only mod...
heres the car:
now... im making this thread to kind of keep track of what i want to do/could do/and might do sometime later (hoping to keep this car at least through college)
ok...now im looking for mods that wouldn't run to much more than a hundred bucks... unless it really adds some HP (not sure how much headers add, but that might be possible)
performance - im looking into air intakes
1)custom (~$15 for piping ~$50 for filter [if you know where to get a filter cheaper please tell])
http://rksport.com/main/part_detail....mdid=1&catid=3
2)pre-built kit off ebay or something (~$50-200)
something like this? http://rksport.com/main/part_detail....mdid=1&catid=3
im also thinking about exhaust. Im thinking just the muffler like a flowmaster. ~$50-100

#42583
but i might consider getting a whole cat back system...
a high flow cat might be nice too
(~$80-200)
http://www.flowpowerexhaust.com/perf...5&brandid=4433
i might consider getting headers, but if i did they would probably be used... how much HP do they actually add? something like this
(~290-400)http://www.flowpowerexhaust.com/perf...4&brandid=4464
i really can't think of any other cheaper performance mods... i want some... just not to much cash to throw at it right now...
for appearance things i could afford might be some things like
clear corners (~40-60)
http://rksport.com/main/part_detail....mdid=1&catid=1
rear inserts (~10-20)
from that ben franker guy
tail and head light black covers (~70) ea.
http://rksport.com/main/part_detail....mdid=1&catid=1
head lights
http://rksport.com/main/part_detail....mdid=1&catid=1
tail lights
windshield banner (~30)
http://rksport.com/main/part_detail....mdid=1&catid=1
power attenna (~100)
http://rksport.com/main/part_detail....mdid=1&catid=5
i was also kinda thinking about a spoiler (particularly the rs)
(~200-250+ paint)
http://rksport.com/main/part_detail....mdid=1&catid=4
billet grill (~150)
http://rksport.com/main/part_detail....mdid=1&catid=1
carbon fiber interior trim (~200)
http://rksport.com/main/part_detail....mdid=1&catid=4
i was also thinking about getting some silver grand sport stripes or racing stripes (~30-150)
gs stripes from ben franker and the racing stripes from some other web site that i found were a couple hundred less than others lol... i can't find it now, ill post it later
solar wing
(~100)
forgot where... to lazy to look now
EDIT::
oh and i might try and take the door panel trim stuff off too...
oh... and cut mabey a cut out before the muffler... i don't think it hinders performance and heard it sounds better... but most important, its free
thats all i can think of at the moment, and no, i can't afford all of these... i was just looking at some options and came across these that caught my eye... i would like to get some power first and then get into appearance :rock: but... its a lil more spendy... also sorry for the long post, i think ill just kinda use this thread as an idea of how to get started...
so... sorry for the long post... what do you guys think? what should i go with? i would like to go used to save on cost... so ill try and keep a look out... thanks guys
