Congrats on the ride!

Read the stickies!!! If you can't find what you need, then ask away!


Peace,
Craig.

Awesome ride, do you mind telling how much you paid? A lid and a catback are good places to start. Check the stickies up top, they'll answer a lot of your early questions. Congrats!

Congrats! Don't even think about doing any mods until you read and understand the sticky's. Also check out installuniversity.com for step by step instructions on some of the easier, cheaper mods. Then use the search and if you cannot find your answer ask your questions here in the right section.

Some newb's to this site start off on the wrong foot by jumping right in with the questions that have been answered 10000000000 times or are answered in the sticky's. That can make you look lazy and turn folks off. Search and sticky's are your friends here. Good luck to ya!

If your happy then you got a good deal! Sure people will say you could do better but you can always do better IMHO. It's all timing and whether you are willing to wait.

As you know already this site is a great resource for LS1 information. Almost anything you could ever want to know can be found here. 99% of the people are really cool too. Not as childish and ugly as a lot of other forums.

Agreed. People on here are great. Don't be afraid to ask questions. You will avoid many newbie mistakes if you don't...

Price is high, but I dont know your area. However, this IS THE BEST site on the 'net for an LS! owner and it has a LOT! of intelligent people to help you (and sadly a few that are not, but they get banned pretty fast good mods here!)
