Default Back Again

Just bought my third Corvette. It's a 2004 bone stock burgundy convertible in beautiful condition. I've been a member on this forum for many years, beginning with my 1989 C4 coupe. Had a 2002 Z06 for a while but I always wanted a convertible. I had a Borla cat back exhaust installed yesterday and the car sounds amazing. I'll post some pics soon. Thanks for reading.

Congrats on your new to you Magnetic Red II convertible. I also have an '04 vert with the same color combo. Mine is far from bone stock though. I have an A&A supercharger kit (among many other mods). Borla is a good exhaust choice. Looking forward to seeing your pics. Let us know if you have any questions. As I'm sure you know there's a ton of great info here on the forum.

Glad you made it back. Post up some picks of the beauty. Being a Vert owner myself it's the only way to cruse. Well that's unless it's 105 in Houston. LOL

Wise choice from a 04 Vert owner. No need for A/C. Vert's
