As for exhaust sound.... well... believe it or not, I love the stock Ti exhaust sound very much.
As for stereo sound, I've already installed Alpine speakers and those sound real good. I couldn't believe how much of a difference they made.
I made my own custom shorty euro antenna and I did all the engineering work for the 'sleepy eyes' conversion, just like RX-7s/Miatas do.
I did put the chrome exhaust plate and I hand painted the emblems of the intake bridge and the steering wheel. Other than that, the Z is pretty much stock.
Here are a few pics of my Vette...

Ok, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. I'll shut up now.

My car is mostly stock, just a ziptie with a smooth silicone coupler instead of the accordion one.
It dynoed 370 hp and 353 tq @ 78F
My best and only time at the track was 13.18@110 mph with 2.18s 60ft (no burnout, launched from 900 RPMs)

Sorry to rant
but this numbers thing is getting too far out there.

SHHHHHHH!!!!! Don't tell the natives you copied off a Miata or they'll lynch you in here.

but this numbers thing is getting too far out there. I have a Z06 Corvette, you know..., the 405 hp LS6 motor with the FRC body style, the rear brake scoops and the checkered flag 6500 RPM redline tachometer/cluster...
AFAIK, other Z06 owners I've seen their stock Z06s pulled somewhere between 360-375 rwhp... so mine is pretty normal for a 'ziptied' stock Z06. I don't know where you got this 'Laws of Physics' thing here...
I'll post the dyno graph as soon as I get back home from work later this afternoon.

Be careful with dyno figures. Have had a lot of dyno work done on race engines and numbers will vary widely depending on "correction" factors input to the computer. As an example, I know of a stock 2000 C5 that showed 345 hp at the rear wheels. ??????
Not ragging on you car by any means, just amazed at some of the #'s that turn up here at times.
