need some good advice hey there ive recently finished the exterior of my car by myself, i have a 2002 v6:/ thats murdered out, i did the whistler mod yesterday, it came out alright, the only problem i have is my headlights keep foggin up after i sand and polish the **** out of them and it just makes the car look horrible, i also just got cherry bombs on my car and i want a highflow cat and a cold air intake, problem is i dont have alot of money to spend and dont wanna buy the k&n intake cuz its 390 bucks, i considered building my own but i cant really find a good example on here on how to do it, i wanna get my car to perform good, sound good (for a v6) and look good, if u guys have any advice let me know please
Is it just me or does that intake look pretty restrictive? The spot where it's pinched together.
If you want my advice, I'd say leave it stock performance wise. A cheap intake is ok, but I wouldn't do much more than that. I don't see the point of dumping money into a V6 f-body in order to make it faster.

but, as far as perforance stuff goes, id recommend checking out www.fullthrottleV6.com -its v6 f-body forum, so i'm sure you'll probably find a lot more useful info there, as well as more people working with them. the times that i did look up non-appearance stuff for the camaro, i always found more info there.

Verdad Gallardo I mean it's ok to do a couple things here and there but don't go overboard with it. Like crimson said, intake and exhaust should be sufficient.

I've always found it kinda strange how someone asking how to improve performance in their V6 gets hit on all sides by people V8's on how pointless it is, and to just get a V8. Obviously you not gonna get the performance equivalent of a V8. Just like with the V6 I used to have, went with a cold air intake, JBL headers, and cat-back exhaust. And you know what...There was a difference. I was happy with it. If you plan on sticking with the V6 for a while, it's not a waste of time.
As far as the "pinching" goes, Mom didn't want to pay lots of money for the full blown kit and this one was simple; and she CAN feel a difference now that she's got that intake and her Flowmaster exhaust. Funny...she gets props from guys in other Camaros that pass by.
