Default Hello all, I am new here

I have a new Impala w/ the 3.9 on the way, I should have it in the next two weeks. I was wondering, has anyone put in any low-cost performance (engine) upgrades on theirs (ie; air filters, etc...) and if so, what is or is not recommended? I look forward to any and all input. Thanks!

There are many ways, but the 3.9 is supercharged so if you simply but if you put a smaller pulley on it you can add some power but don't go to much smaller or you could damege your engine. you can also buy some 2.5inch tubing and a glasspack and give it straight pipes. Altough if you don't what the car to be loud just use a glasspack in place of the muffler.

There are also some cool universal mufflers offerd by magnaflow that would fit your carhttp://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...ne=main&id=386
