Default Central PA head machining

Hey everyone new to the forum. I bought my 01 M6 t top six weeks ago. I'm a lot more familiar with the diesel scene and Duramax mods, but new to the LS engine family. I was wondering if anyone in the central Pa region (Lancaster area) could point me towards a reputable cylinder head machinist in the area. I am hoping to do some upgrades in the future but am going to do a little recon first on good shops, parts, etc.... I would like to start off with some form of exhaust but don't know wether to go with a full system or cutouts. I would like to hear the exhaust at idle and acceleration but still want it to be reasonable. My cousin has borla atak cat back on his 99. I have yet to hear them in person but I'm told they really roar, too much sometimes. Sorry for the jumping around, just trying to get as familiar with these cars and engines as possible. Thanks

Hey welcome! I am actually in the Lancaster area as well. May want to call Brady Performance in Willow Street, they are the local Corvette specialists and could probably make some recommendations for you.

I saw they were having a show, I'll be camping up north though this weekend so I'm going to miss it. Do you show your car in the Lititz car show? I want to hit a few shows next year
