Default ive got 200 amazon bucks to spend... 02 camaro need ideas!

Anything you guys know of that would be cool for around 200 or less? plugs, wires make a difference, oil pump, other ideas? I can't really think of anything right now im having a brain clot. The car is basically stock minus a stealth sub in the back corner. 02 camaro ss 35th anniversary.


Also how do you make your car rev down faster would that be a flywheel?

Thanks!!

pics are in profile and also open to exterior/decorative ideas.

Some 2 point subframe connectors. Shock tower brace, lid, car cover. Do you have a m6 or a4?

Saw you have a auto. Ever think about b and m ratchet shifter? They are 200. Then you will need a 30 part with it. It fits it the stock console you just have to pull of the black sliders.

Sub frame connectors. It ties the whole car together and makes it more sound. It goes from the lower control arms to the front by the k member to the tunnel brace. Thats if you get 3 points. This is a good suspensipn mod if you are going to do anything to the car.

That was the first mod i did to my car.

What size cam? True duals out flow any ypipe and sound much better. There is a reason all fast cars have true duals lol. I have kooks lt headers and kooks no cats true duals. True duals make better power every where. If you get a y pipe make sure you get a good one. You could get tsp true duals.

A member is selling some kooks 1 3/4 headers.

do you have 2.5" piping or 3 " ? i was thinking about getting an Armour coated pair but i like the sound of kooks now because they are just so well built. the cam is going to be Speed Torquer V2 232/234 .595"/.598" Camshaft. i finally decided to get that one.

Nice cam. It is 3 inch its the new setup they make. Sounds great and fits great. I got there single tips instead of quads. Plus can beat the sound of true duals and the kooks exhaust sounds great.

i love my single tips. the previous owner cut off the muffler and put on 3 inch chrome tips. looks bad ***. do they make pre made dual exhaust kits ive looked many places but cant find anything. i feel that would make life for me much easier.

would the ported TB make much of a difference over the stock? just more cooler air induction is the idea basically right?

Kooks makes a pre fabbed dual exhaust. I have it and a few people have it. Not to many people run it because it is expensive.

I've heard good things about it. How are you liking it? tips seem a little big maybe. I was planning on Kooks 1 7/8th headers and magnaflow but decided to save for the kooks td with their headers after watching their clip. It sounds sick! wish it wasn't so dang expensive. got any pics?
