Newbie Here! Proud to be apart of the family

I am fairly new here, have been a member for a couple of months now but haven't really got into much on here yet. but am starting to begin the MODDING!!!!

With that being said, I am driving a 2012 2LT/RS Imperial Blue Camaro.
I am looking forward to people giving me their thoughts about my mods.

I am gonna start with either a Cold Air Inductions Intake or Some MBRP Cat-Back Exhaust.

Which mod should I start off with?

All thoughts and opinions are well apperciated.

Thanks, Austin.

Build Thread soon to come!

Personally, I'd do the exhaust first, (it is what I did first lol) there is nothing like the roar of an engine.

I did the intake and exhaust at the same time so I'm not sure how one really sounds without the other.

Congrats in the purchase

I voted.....and now on to the important stuff......

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands, girlfirends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

With the exhaust and CAI you can't go wrong either way. With the CAI you'll get a little more HP as well with the exhaust - an exhaust with CAI will definitely make the car sound better so it's a win win in my book.

Welcome to C5 from a fellow Kentucky resident! If you'd be interested in joining a club to go to shows, cruise, and hang out feel free to check out the Derby City Camaro Club - www.derbycitycamaroclub.com or PM me for more info! I see you're in Corbin so it's a bit away from Louisville but hey you never know..

CAI then headers if you plan to tune. That way, you can mostly avoid changing exhaust systems later.

Second, Can't go wrong with a CAI, good first mod I'm sure it's one of the first performance mods most people do.
