    Pm delcowizzid for a tune. Best performance you'll get on the cheap.

    I did coby extractors + 2.5" and noticed no difference. But after the tune it really open'd it up

    Wow, what an intelligent thought. You must have been waiting for years to use that one.

    I will ****ing slap you. Everything you said here is a dumb idea for a daily, except the 2.5" exhaust.

    2.5" exhaust, extractors, home made CAI, greenfoam tune.

    exhaust all 2nd hand, as anything with VNs should be

    If you're going to insult someone, at least make sense you dimwit.


    Basic shit, twin 2.5 inch catback exhaust, set of headers, cold air intake and a tune.

    Yeah probably but the point of most of the replies is that your question has been asked hundreds if not thousands of times and the same guys get sick of making the same replies over and over again when the information is readily available but people are too lazy to look.

    Check out the "search" button or have a browse thru here: V6 Development And Modification - Just Commodores for more information than you will ever want to know about making your motor go faster.
