Would this be a sin?
I just bought another C5 - this is my 4th Corvette that I have owned.
I have always been a custom guy- I'm a gun & knife engraver, I like my stuff customized and have been a motor head all my 65 years.
This C5 is a 2001 convertible with only 7,200 miles on it. The car is 100% stock and is as mint as any 2001 Corvette in the world.
I'm thinking about keeping it pure stock & to be honest I don't know if I can do this but I do think it might be kind of cool - Would this be a sin not to change the exhaust or intake or ? What you think? Tom

Change whatever you want, just keep the original parts for swap back if you ever need them.
I will trade my stock exhaust for a magnaflow anyday!!!

[/QUOTE]It looks nice and clean. You can keep it stock, however the more time you spend on this forum, the harder it becomes to keep it that way!

Do whatever makes you happy. There is absolutely nothing wrong with keeping a Vette bone stock.
