New Guy I am such a newb when it comes to cars so bear with me. I pretty much only know the basics but I came to this forum because I purchased an 06 impala ss back in september and im looking for a little guidance as far as mods i can do to it. I dont want to void the warranty or anything but i would like to add some hp and also make it look better than it already does. im just looking for your advice and different input because you guys have the same vehicle that i have. thanks.

im in 4 cylinder mode for the most part. when i got the car, the sticker said 28 MPG HWY and 19 City. i do more highway than city but i get an average of 17. i bought the ZMax stuff for the engine and fuel and i have barely noticed anything. i also use Premium fuel. what else can i do to save gas?

To be honest i dont floor it or anything. I try to stay in 4 cylinder mode as much as possible. I even set the cruise control to about 55 to 60 MPH and just cruise. Somebody at work told me to get a Cold Air Intake. would that help any?

welcome, first thing is probably not the best car to buy if looking at gas mileage as all of us know, and cold air intake and TB spacer. not really anything that is going to make a huge difference in gas mileage.

ok cool thanks. it said 32 front and rear. another question, where is good site where i can get an aggressive looking hood like the chevelles, navi system, and all the other goodies. im also looking to get the racing stripes right down the middle like the monte carlos.
Welcome to LS4 tech. I had good luck with K&N intake & a tune. Depending on how much you want to do maybe a K&N drop in and find someone with a good reputation to tune with HPtuners. I don’t know any thing about the hand held tuners (except Diablo Sport has no trans support). Maybe someone else can chime in.
