Headers are next on my list.
It would look a lot better if you'd replace those rusty clips that are holding your rear mud flaps on.
...would love hear it with those headers.
Some new mods [PICS]

Some new mods [PICS]
Got some 1 and 7/8 kooks headers, baer rotors (zinc coated so no rust will show), z06 sway bars, hawk brake bads, x-pipe, and tune. Pushing just below 400 hp to the rears (dynojet).

sweet, nice vette. is that all you have done is a tune and headers to get that much hp to wheels, is it a ls3 or 2 ? how much h/p gain do you figure you added to the motor when you add the headers? im going to do some header soon, thanks

I like the look of the red stripes and thinking of doing the same to my black C6. Are the stripes painted?

Bottom line, with a good CAI, x-pipe and headers you can get 33 horses to the wheels - at least this is my experience.
In either case, the vette feels like it can breath now. It really felt restricted before.
I will probably do my rear end and get bigger tires before moving onto the pro-charger next year.
