Now that I have a Z06, should I keep the Borla Stingers on it, or what is the best exhaust to put on it. Also should I put on my Vararam or will I get codes. Is the power difference worth it? How much gains would there be over stock with the Borla's and the Vararam?

I would do the exhaust that you like the sound of the best and I think a Blackwing would be a better intake, unless you are never in the rain

Since you already have both items, just keep them on the car for a while and see how you like it.

Depends on what sound you like.

Also should I put on my Vararam or will I get codes.
IMO no, and possibly.

Is the power difference worth it?
IMO no.

How much gains would there be over stock with the Borla's and the Vararam?
Probably none to very little. The stock Ti exhaust flows well and the stock intake is open as well as the openings behind the front screens.
