Hey everyone,
Just purchased my dream- LS2 C6 Velocity Yellow Coupe with T-56 manual, 2006 production year. Loving the car very much- hoping I chose a good one in terms of amount of work needed to be done. The exhaust manifold/headers are rusted out pretty bad and I thought I could replace them but after reading about all the issues with broken rusty bolts.. I'm hesitant.. I'll wait until they start leaking. TT sounds OK, I do feel a bit of vibration when the car revs above 4K rpm- seems kinda normal. I'd really love to rebuild it with the RPM kit, and do the new clutch anyways. Car has 78K miles and was lady-owned before me- pretty happy with it!
Thanks guys- I'll be bugging you if I need help! Happy to join the community!
