Hey guys,

I've got a Caprice SS and i wanna modify it so i get better performance. Also i'd like to change the exhaust system so it has a loud but subtle "purrr" something like what the Cayenne S has.

HELLPPP !!

Thanks.

you could start by changing the air intake sytem that would be a good start...then the spark plugs to performance ones...and so on...
as for the exhaust..you can head up to fox exhaust and tell them exactly what you need and they will custome make it for you....if you really want good sound then get a heavy duty air filter ( the thick sound from them porsches are mainly from the air filter and then the sport catalics under the car )..and well custom made catalyic converters and exhaust piping and headers..

i might be a bit wrong..members..correct me..

Spark plugs won't do 5hit for you.
Get an intake and exhaust. AFAIK nobody makes exhausts for the Caprice SS so you'll have to head over to Fox and get a custom setup.
