THE STREETS ARE FILLED
 
 WITH THE SOUND OF EXHAUST

The install took place at the K&N facility, but before we get started, here's a snap shot of the K&N LT1 Fuel-Injection Performance Kit.
There's a first for everything. Now obviously a few of those firsts are going to stick out in our memory like a sore thumb, and others, well, they just simply fade away. Jumping behind the wheel of your Camaro for the first time is definitely something you'll always remember. And when it comes time to begin modifications, let's just say our first swap won't fade away.
A common place for many Fourth-Gen F-Body owners to start with is upgrading the engine's breathing. By upgrading the intake and exhaust system, you're able to tap into unused horsepower. And let's face it, there's a cetain thrill we get by stomping on the gas and hearing the screaming echoes of GM power billowing from the tips. The sound becomes like a drug - we have to have it. No more putting from here to there; instead, those short trips are wide
open throttle. Ahhh...ahhhh...ahhh - I can feel the power coming over me as i speak, or type, I guess. In the world of Fourth-Gens, exhaust companies have gotten the concept of swapping out stock setups for performance setups down to an art. With a few undone bolts here and there and a little muscle, you have an entire cat-back setup installed in a matter of hours. But exhaust is only one aspect of helping the engine breath; increasing the intake tract and smoothing the air flow into the engine is another. Considering the fact that the point of air entry on a Fourth-Gen is in the front of the engine as opposed to the top of the engine, by allowing more clean air into the system, you're able to increase horsepower as well.
K&N Air Filters is no stranger to helping engines breath better.
