Hi I just got my 2000 ss convertible in oct.
and I love it!Its black with black leather with a hurst 6 spd. So far I have put in a k&n filter(is it my imagination or does this make the car sound louder)and have been thinking of getting a borla exhaust. Someone told me I should get a torque converter, what is it and should I get one? Any suggestions on some mods that wont break the bank and are worthwhile=more horsepower would be appreciated.
thanx

A torque converter is for automatic transmissions. Since you have a 6 speed you don't need one.

Nice choice of car

See my photo album for the mod's I've done. Next on the list are:
* installing the '01 Bilstein suspension
* installing the Fast Toys cold air kit
* installing the shift lite
* 4:11 gears
* maybe a 180 stat ... I'm waiting for Hawkeye's final report on that
* subframe connectors

**installing means I've got the parts sitting in the garage

The '99s didn't come from the factory with 180 stats like the 00's?

How much was the K&N and do you have some part numbers for that? Also, when you spec out that Borla system, I would be interested in what they are going for. I am looking for new exhausts for both my 1993 Z28 and 1998 SS but I need something that is bolt on for the 1998 due to the rarity of the car.

I believe stock is around 195. Reading the Hypertech HPP3 manual it has fan programming for stock, 180 and 160 degree 'stats.
