Are you looking for your exhaust to be louder? If so, an H or X pipe, headers etc

And you will most definitely feel a difference with a tune, especially with the auto. It will change the exhaust tone slightly and my JLT makes a neat sucking sound. Great mod

true, very true, but once you try it, you'll understand. :-)

Hey, but then again, maybe with the $10 hit the price of oil took today, gas will go down more then 1/10 of a cent...

I recall freakin' out when gas hit $.69/gallon. It was within a year of buying my first Camaro.

bad idea, don't put 87 octane in your tank, especially in a GT, you'll have a high horsepower gain by just putting in 93 octane and tuning the car for it.

the difference between 87 and 93 octane is much greater than you think.
