Default Did my First MODs!

Hey Everyone,
I got my TB ported and polished, TB bypass, SLP Lid, custom Y pipe, and a Flowmaster muffler. I noticed a little difference. Feels good, the throttle response feels alot better. The exhaust I didn't notice a difference but it sounds good though! Well I plan on getting a better Exhaust system, so this is just to hold me over until I can afford it. I plan on getting LT headers, 3 inch custom Y pipe, and Catback.

You are going to get slack about installing the flowmaster muffler and expecting gains.

O yeah I also got a short stick for my stock shifter, I plan on getting a better shifter, just have to do for now. I noticed it felt a little rough and the stick was making noise while driving. So I thought about it and I assume its because of the metal up against metal so I put some gasket material in between the stick and shifter. Now the shifting feels alot smoother and theres no noise!

Yeah I know, I was really looking for better sound. Hope fully this summer I can save up to get a real Exhaust system.

Generally, mods are very expensive. My advice is to do it right the first time. You wasted your money imo on the flowmaster exhaust if you planned on replacing it with something else.

It's extra money you won't have later in the summer for headers or a cam.
