Welcome & congrats!

Just look through the first couple pages in this section...there are plenty of threads already addressing this issue. If you're thinking of a specific mod, the search function is your friend.

Silencer removal is ~ 5 minutes. Not reversable.

Not sure if that does anything. but anyway, start with intake & exhaust of your choice, then possibly begin tuning with HPt. Also, grab a set of STB's from Donrome/Flip from www.GPONA.com (unfortunately, Flip is remodeling his workspace so he can't do the modified front bar ATM) After that, work on the engine internals, if you wish, and possibly look into a shift kit.

Also, check out www.NAIOA.com for more Impala info.
