Default New C5er

Finally did what I should have two years ago. Got rid of the 77 for a 99 vert with a six speed. Will need lots of advice on upgrades in the future.

This is the place, I don't think I've seen many questions that couldn't be answered here.

Thanks. Used to be on here as MP77 with my 77 vette. Have not been here in a while, so I set up a new account. First question would be which exhaust sounds the best? I don't want something too loud, but it needs a growl when stepping on it.

Congrats on the new car and welcome to the forum! For the exhaust go to a car show in your area and listen to different systems before you buy one
