Vstellas ride seems quite awesome so far even though I have to get it to pass inspection first. N.Y. is 1 big pain!! After it passes then I'll have to do a little tuning to get out some of the bugs. Also, I need an exhaust. Right now it has the Ti's from the Z06 on it and I'm looking for something a little more aggressive but not too loud. Any suggestions?
