Default First mod...opinions please

Wow sweet new format, i like it a lot. Anyway, i'm getting a 80 and thought i'd ask my friends here what the first mod shoud be. Within a reasonable price range. I thought headers, but i'll give you a chance to respond. :cheers:

Why Exhaust is Big Problem on 75-81 for HP http://www.corvetteforum.cc/ubb/Foru...ML/008082.html
Many really like this topic.

You are right to start w/ ex., more needed than just headers. See above topic. Is the 80 L-82?
