Default Any free mods i can do?

Car is a A4 99 Firebird Formula, LS1.

Currently, i have the K&N open filter, a hypertech programmer tune and my flowmaster is broke, so at the end of the week I'll have my cats removed with a 3inch Y-pipe going through a moroso spiral flow muffler...It's light and hopefully will sound good.

That's all the mods i have for now. Any free mods, or cheap mods that are good to do?

This is my brothers account and we're on the same computer. He just left for the Navy and i got an LS1 now. He actually had a camaro LT1, so I'm really unfamiliar with the LS1 platform.

That site helps a little, but it doesn't look like it's good for small mods...Does it literally list everything you can do? If so, the only thing i can do looks like EGR...

I didn't realize cats took so much power! The website said a pair of cats is about 8rwhp!!!

The search feature can be your friend. This has been discussed numerous times on this forum. Go to search and type in "free mod list".

I did a few performance tests you can check out here to see how much of a difference a descreened Maf does...

I checked out the EGR delete, does anyone make block off plates for a cleaner application? I know it would no longer be a free mod, but I would not want to reuse that ugly hose again.

Is there a sticky that I am missing for all the free mods?

You can make the block off plates, its not that difficult.
