RE: New Guy from Illinois

Thanks guys! I love the Monte Carlo so far. I will take some pics this weekend.

I'm not sure what to do to it first. Any suggestions?

Hi `Matt, & thanks for posting/sharing pictures

of your SuperLook'in Monte Carlo LS.

I don't know what your modification budget is $$,

but for appearance, your Monte would look

great with window tint, and also fog lights to fill the front

end blanks, plus you get better lighting.

I'm sure, if your explore the forum and see what other's

are doing you will get some great idea's.

Also use our Search engine for area's of your concern.

Wish you Good Luck with your `Monte.

Safe/Happy miles to you.

RE: New Guy from Illinois

start with a CAI (cold air intake) and then head for the exhaust...if i remember correctly u dont have a u bend so u shouldnt have to worry about that, a high flow cat and some new mufflers and ur car will b able to breathe and exhale better...after that head for ur pcm and reprogram it...that should b a good start

RE: New Guy from Illinois

That's some good ideas to start. I'm on a pretty low modification budget. I mainly bought this to get the MPG. So, nothing that affects MPG too much other than make it go up!

Thanks for the compliments guys!

RE: New Guy from Illinois

Thats a nice car you have there. The intake and the exhaust should give you a few more MPGs, but your inclination to mash the pedal more often afterward may just bring it right back down. Lol. Once you save up a few bucks, lose those stock wheels. A new set of aftermarket wheels would definately make the car, along with a set of white or black SS stripes.
