Z06 already has very nice lightweight rims and also very nice lightweight catback.

Personally i would go with an intake or headers.

repro chromes will be heavy as hell and probably not hold up to the elements. I have seen several chrome repros paint flake off.
But between the 2 choices I vote for a catback. IMO I think stock Z06 rims look great and the stock titanium exhaust already has 3" tips. Go for a 4" Quad tip exhaust.

I personally love the Ti so I wouldn't blow money changing it.

I've got chromed Z rims and they look terrific on my lowered C5. I wouldn't change them for anything.

Deep down you know what you are going to choose anyway... and that's all that matters, don't let the haters get you down.

The Ti systems are rare, lightweight and the C5 system flows well. If your car was any other color, voting would be more difficult for me. You need some bling.

A good sounding catback would be my first choice. Got to love a good sounding Vette.
