Welcome to the forum! Sounds like some fun mods you are doing!! You will have to check out some of the different exhaust systems to see what sounds best to you. Maybe you can contact some forum members in your area to hear their cars...or catch some out at car shows this summmer. Many sites have the exhaust sound clips...but it still isn't like hearing it in person.
good luck and happy modding!!!

The engine mods, tune, lowering and realignment were all performed by DynoTech Engineering (now known as DTE Powertrain) in Ft. Wayne, IN. I purchased their LS1 performance upgrade package which includes a well-engineered set of complementary mods that significantly improve engine performance while maintaining overall reliability and drivability. I also had them install the full Dynatech Supermaxx LT header system and then lower the car on stock bolts and perform a realignment. DTE Powertrain is a supporting vendor and I highly recommend them. My car was dyno'd at 386 RWHP and 368 RWTQ and still gets 30 MPG on the highway (if I can manage to keep my foot out it!).

Nice MY Vette you have! My suggestions would be;
1.) Don't park so close to the curb, or you will scrape your rear exhaust system badly
2.) Ease into this modding thing, do the low cost ones first like..
3.) Lower your Vette (free mod)
4.) Paint your rear fascia (if you like that look)
5.) Paint your calipers and get some screens for those duct openings
6.) Get a cold air intake (doesn't matter, but I'm leaning toward Vararam)
7.) Get an aftermarket catback exhaust
8.) install both at the same time if possible.
9.) Z06 brake ducts
10.) LED or euro lights
After you do that I guarantee you you'll be hooked . You can either move on the performance mods or move to the interior and go from there.
Happy modding! Don't say we didn't tell you

Yeah, I know abot easing into modding a car. I went crazy on my 98 3000GT/GTO. I paid $6500 for the car in Little Rock,AR. It kept throwinf crazy codes. After getting it home, found intake bolts broken and glued together,wrong fuel pump put on. After that I went crazy taking the stock 9b's off and then putting the 13's off Suburu WRX, chrome intercooler pipes, powdercoated VC' and intake plenums. Before I new it i had about $5k in cosmetic mods then another $7k in motor mods. It was OK then because I was SFC/E-7 in the Army and then was in Physician's Assistant School. Then after I got hurt, then placed in the TDRL my income was cut in half, then my wife who I had given power of attorny to because of the amount of narcotics I was on filed for divorce. Then she had me placed in the mental health ward at the VA Hospital. About 6 months later I came of of the drug fog and realized I was homeless, disabled and almost broke. But I never gave up. Told my ex she could have the house, Hummer, BMW, just let me have my kids whenever I wanted, my Quest, and do not mess with my retirement or disability. Well now I am finally back on my feet, got 100% VA disability, Social Security and now my Army retirement. Now if I can get this dam spinal cord stimulator that does not work out of me without having to have 6 inch pieces of spinal bone remove so the lead wires can be removed. I have not slept on my back in almost 5 years.
Thanks to you all for the great ideas. Cannot wait to go to a meet.
