Bolt on Upgrades

I'm new to this forum and I bought a 2009 SS a couple months ago. I was wondering what are some of the bolt on upgrades are and manufactures that make these upgrades? Any help would be appreciated.

As far as bolt on's....

You honestly can't really bolt much onto these cars without a "tune". Just by installing a simple K&N filter can make the CEL come on in these cars.

I disagree, if the OP hasn't got the Stg. 1 Turbo upgrade from GM. It's a very worthwhile mod, if you want alot more power.

Do the STG1 or a Tune, then any of your "bolt-ons" will not be reverted back to stock HP/TQ by the computer.

My suggestions:
- TTR rear swaybar
- GM STG1 Turbo Upgrade
- Better intercooler piping (remove terrible bends)
- Forge BOV
- TTR front swaybar

- TTR upper mount (after the above, its needed for traction!)

I agree with SSfan go for the hard core rearsway bar from Powell Race Shop and if you have a 5 speed get the Front Powell Race Shop Transmission Mount no more wheel hop. With the tune or stage 1 from Gmpp you will have wheel hop For me it's the only mount I have and I am very happy. It's 110 plus shipping.
