Just wanted to say hello to all. I am a new 2012 Inferno Orange SS owner and have a few questions to the old timers on the forum.

I have a few mods that I want to do and am looking for some wise advise. I am looking to go cheap but also good. I want to get some lowering springs, air intake system and exhaust system and have some questions.

1) Intake - what is recommended that will not break the bank? I saw a post where someone said that there was an blackwing intake at $100.00 or $150.00 for members?

2) Springs - Same here, I was looking at either Eibachs or Hotchkis 1" drop?

3) Exhaust - I was looking into the Doug Thorely cat-back system, only around $500.00 any thoughts?

4) cat-back or axle back? Is there much of a difference as far as horsepower or are they pretty much the same?

5) will the car need any type of tuning with these mods or will everything be OK? Don't want a check engine light coming on.

Thanks for the help.
