Talking Camaro LLT starter mods!

What are the first 3 modifications you would recommend to a new Camaro LLT owner?

This is in an effort to create a thread that can be linked to when a new members asks, "Where should I start?", "What are the best mods?".

I'd agree with this list, but I'd swap exhaust for the number two spot if the owner is looking for a mod that will provide more excitement, but less performance.

I went back and forth on bumping exhaust in there.

4. Iceolator
5. Ported Tb
6. Ported IM
7. Headers
8. Hi flow cats
9. IPF tune

1) Catch can
2) CAI (w/scoop & water bottle relocation)
3) exhaust
4) Iceolator/ported throttlebody

After that is gets too much into personal taste & priorties
IMHO

Sway Bars are definately nice as are bushings, but for me those lead heavy, ugly stock mufflers had to go first. Ruby lost 30+ lbs off her rear end & sounds & looks ever so much nicer now! But that is just me.

never thought about sway bars, yes before exhaust. the bars are tuff getting out if you weld in the mufflers. I had to remove the rear tire and pull hard while pulling down on the right muffler to get the bar out. What a pain.
