new member and some questions

Post by kennygs72 »

I picked up a '11 9c3 couple weeks ago with 77k. I did a CAI and was wondering if the stock air box is worth anything? I also was wondering if any of the police equipment has any value ( led light bar , radar all wiring etc ).I have read lot of the post on here on some mods I'm planning and was wondering since most applications don't list the PPV should I look at G8 or SS for things like , oil catch can, complete exhaust ( I did read that headers from a SS fit with the oil cooler ). Thanks kenny

Welcome! Pics, or it didn't happen!! :mrgreen:

The OEM intake assembly is worth about $600 new, so yeah, it's worth something. You might want to hang on to it in case something happens to your current intake system. Since these cars are no longer made, those parts will become quite rare. They're probably not worth much now for resale, but may be pretty valuable to someone who's gotten their front left smacked, and needs those parts to get the car back on the road.

Your questions will be answered with more reading, so keep browsing. In summary, though, a catch can, if you feel you need one, is pretty generic, so a G8 'kit' will work fine. Yes, most SS headers will work on the Caprice since they both have to clear the oil cooler. The cat back exhaust system will mostly work between the Caprice and the SS/G8, but will need some modification to fit the longer wheelbase of the Caprice. IIRC, you'll need to add some piping back where the system goes under the differential.

Nice car, I looked at buying it, it was to far out for me.

Is the lights red or blue? Are you leaving the pushbar on it?

too far out as far as distance or price?

the light bar is blue , any value in it or the radar system?

yes the push bumper is staying.
