New to the site but have been lurking for a while. This is my fourth MC. An 07 Monte Carlo SS the wife and I recently acquired. I still have and 81 MC not running.

Thanks. No not yet. I had to get tires already and tinted the window. I was thinking bout an intake and exhaust. I have an 02 Regal GS with an intake and dp with duals. The wifes thinks it too loud though. I saw the magnaflow cat back exhaust and kinda liked it.

Thanks. I hope to get the Don Rome brackets in a couple of months. I'm into audio and might do that first. I did the suspension on my Regal but haven't found to much for the SS.
Hawkins04 I found it for $759 on Auto Anything but ya hopefully will come down. I was also looking at the Dp from ZZP as I have one on my Regal and am pleased with it.
