Default performance parts?

I'm new here and i just bought an 06' gxp. I have been looking for anything for my car and can only find a catback exhaust system, cai, and turbo kits. i was wondering if anyone can help me with any websites or shop near me or something?

Just look through most of the threads, your find that if you do a little searching you get a lot of info on lots of things rather then just suggestions.

Welcome. Any pics of your car? And another thing is LS6, LS2 intake manifold swap but there is a lot of fabbing up you have to do to get it to work. Also a down pipe catted/catless. Doing a search will help a lot.

its very simliar, ours has harder truck parts in it. They are still a major weak point. Many are going around 30k miles. The same parts will fit thought between the two, i believe

Ok i thought they were the same. i just bought my car the 4th of jan. and drove it a week and the tranny had to be replaced cause it would not move in drive or anything but if i shut the car off it would drive for but a minute. the dealership put a jasper tranny in it now. ive had it back for a week and it seems fine. so there is not much room to mod the car without beefing up the trans?

Would i be safe to do a downpipe, catback exhaust, and a tune? i already put a cai on the other day. the tranny has been replaced already. it was done a week after i bought it so its been maybe 3-4 weeks now. the dealer gave me a warranty of 3 year 100,000 miles and its a jasper tranny and warranty.
