She's here!

I dunno if I should put this here, but this seems to be the i4 community hub and I'm excited! it was a smooth experience and no noticable issues so far. I'm going to follow a mostly textbook break in along with not worrying about some reasonably fun driving as well.

Debadged same day! lol

That's the GM "High Wing" Spoiler.

You also have the GM front fascia extension.

Another good option is a Downpipe and CAI for more powerband access. None of those requires a tune or CELs to be turned off.

I'm waiting to see how wookwook does with his catted DP, but it's absolutely on my mind. I'm wondering what kind of return I can get with simply a drop-in K&N and the DP. I really want to avoid an open box, at least for now.

I'm gonna wait for the warranty for the downpipe, just because its hard to swap if I have to bring it in... I think eventually I'll go catless and add the long resonator tubes at mid area since I'll have an open axleback and I'm sure that would be too loud.

My dealer seemed pretty cool about mods, basically said dont change the cams lol.

He said intakes and exhaust and stuff was fine because gm makes them. I didn't want to break it to him that there isn't one for us.

I'm gonna try an open box, I forget the name but its the cheaper one on Ebay. I like it loud, we'll see how the CEL goes.

Also waiting for jacfabs new version that will have a built in leak a little bit.

Very nice and welcome to the club of the best alpha platform car out there...the 2.0T Camaro! People have already advised about the downpipe and other mods, so I'll add my 2 cents about a sometimes overlooked issue.

It looks like your car has the OEM SS staggered 20" rims. They are VERY heavy. I tried the SS 20" staggered rims on my 2.0T and it seriously felt like I lost 20 lb/ft of torque. I went right back to my stock 18" rims and the power came right back.

I really think one of the best mods you can do on this car is get a set of high quality light weight 19" rims. The main advantage of the LTG Camaro is less weight over the nose, and keeping the rotating mass down really lets the 2.0T do its thing.

Rims are a 20" 5 Spoke Low Gloss Black Option for the LT. OEM SS 20s are 5 split spoke. You are right though. I saved about 46 lbs. When i went to my 17" Ghetto Drag pack.
