Default New Car, 97 RS! questions

Hey, im new to the board, I just purchased a 97' RS 3.8 camaro for $5,995, with only 92,000 miles, pretty good deal. Im looking for ways to make it a lil quicker, its pretty quick as is, but still. By purchasing a new exhaust, like maybe flowmaster, will I notice the difference? Besides that, and intake, any other little things I can do to my car? Thanks

flows on a 3.4 dont do **** for performance. i cant imagine it doing anything for a 3.8 either, it just gives a cool sound... get 2.5" piping from the cat-back and put a magnaflow muffler (this one) on...thats what im gonna get

yea intake would be the first thing i would go with i have a friend that diddnt even buy a kit just took the stock box and filter out and put a filter cone in and you feel a very little differnce pretty much just in acceleration its not a huge difference but anything extra will help and thats one of the cheapest things you can do you can pick a cone up for like 20-30 bucks plus it gives a lil cooler sound during acceleration it sounds alot deeper but yea thats my suggestion

If I put a CAI on my car ( already have 80 series flowmasters ) Will it sound any deeper by chance?

I also have a 1997 RS, i put on flowmasters and a K&N air-filter. the flows really give it a good sound in the low end. But up around the higher RPM's it becomes a little iffy.
