What First Performance Mods ?
I just recently purchased a 2001 Millenium Yellow Z06...and was wondering what products should i do for performance. I wanna do the exhaust and the Intake on the car first, starting with the Tri-Flow exhaust with the Speedway tips and the HallTech carbon-fiber Sidewinder intake. Now i was told if i do certain things to the car...it could actually ''hurt'' the cars performance?...especially with the intake ?!? :confused: , but i was gonna get a few opinions to help me on my decesions. Im ''NEW'' to the Corvette...(former F-Body owner) so a little help would GREATLY be appriciated :)
Thankz Alot !

Hey Z06 This......On my Z I have the Donaldson Blackwing intake with a WCC air duct.There are two types of intakes.Cold air(Vortex,Halltech,etc) in which you cut the shroud and the car gets air from the bottom and there are ones where you don't cut the shroud(Donaldson and others) where it gets air from the front air screens.The exhaust I really don't know but I am sure the great folks over here will chime in with some help.I too had a F-body(Camaro SS) before my Z......Good luck.

Re: What First Performance Mods ? (Z06VERT)
I would perform the air intake mod first. The exhaust mod is not going to pick you up any power IMHO over the Ti one on the car. It will be louder depending on which system you go with. After the air intake mod, I'd add a set of headers.
