I'm new to the forum and I'm hesitant in modifying the 350 except for the grounding kit which seems approriate. The CAI needs to have a oil/water catcher, headers leak if not installed properly, and so on. The only mods I see that seem reasonable are the interior mods, grounding kits and maybe the exhaust. It seems that if you modify a part another is affected by it. Just to be safe I might wait unitil the warranty expires. Guys/Gals enlighten me a little bit, Thanks!

 

There are always going to be issues to some degree in the after market parts world. Get your Mods professionally installed. Some are even covered by warranty. make your choices wisely and learn as much as you can from this board, Many here have mods and you'll find every every type from just about every vendor.

 

Problems?

None of Crawfords have? Well, neither have any of the exhausts we installed either.

Sounds like some one-off installation probs.

Heck if you want a SIMPLE diy mod check out Crawford's Plenum - HUGE gain up top. Best NA mod to date!

I would think that with allot of the early products there are going to be issues since they have been out long enough for people to report them and the manufacturer to fix them. The Borla headers are a good example. Look at the size of the Borla operation and their manufacturing system and some of their headers had an issue with header flange bolt holes being not quite in the right location. The only thing that I probably would not do at this point are cams since given the amount of work involved to install them, it is probably better to wait until allot more manufacturers have had a chance to develop them. CAI, exhaust, plenum, grounding kits all seem safe. I am running the UR underdrive pulley but I still have a nagging suspicion that the damper on the OEM pulley is there for a reason and the UR pulley may prove to be a bad idea. Good Luck!
