Default Performance Upgrades to My Wife's 1SS

Hey folks. I just ordered my wife a synergy green 1SS, and I wanted to put performance intake and exhaust on it. So far I believe I have found the parts I am going to use..

Exhaust System -- Flowmaster American Thunder
http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/sh...oducts_id=4275

Intake -- Airaid Cold Air Intake w/SynthaMax, 251-243
http://www.airaid.com/ProductDetail....ductID=251-243


First off, do you think these are good performance upgrades? Secondly, I have found good deals at..

http://www.lmperformance.com/
http://www.ourdealsrock.net/
http://www.autopartsdealer.com/

Has anyone dealt with any of these companies? I want to get a cheap price, but I wouldnt mind paying a little more to deal with a reputable dealer.

Some people don't want some of the 2ss features like the 4 gauge pod and they want to have a stripper model for racing. Also not everybody can afford the $3,300 step up

No, I have no camaro. My aunt owns a chevy dealer and I don't care for the 4 gauge pod. The placement of it is bad. Also some people don't want leather due to where they live or the maintenance, like here in Texas it gets hot so leather isn't that great also some people don't have the time to condition it properly. Also the only leather is where your butt and back are, the rest is vinyl so many people buy a 1ss and then order a katzkin leather kit that is full leather, not just some leather with a lot of vinyl

I would definitely want my car to be loaded if I bought any sports car. I was always taught that when you buy a sports car, you buy the car fully loaded with leather, power everything, other options and last, but certainly not least, get the biggest and baddest engine the factory offers for that car. Thats why I don't care for V6 Camaros. If one doesn't have time to condition the leather and take proper care of their brand new sports car, they shouldn't have bought it.

I usually prefer cloth seats, much more comfortable imo and doesn't stick to you in hot weather.

Getting gas has become part of our daily lives and only takes a few minutes. Whereas taking care of leather isn't part of our daily lives and takes an hour or more to do properly
