Default Getting Mods Done

Guys,

Need your expert advice, I've got a stock C6 M6 Vert and would like to get some mods. Thinking of Borla Stingers, Lingenfelter CAI, LT headers and a tune. Would it be best to get them all done at once? Or in what order? OR Should I get something different?

Thanks for all your advice....

Bonez

Depending on your funds, I would go for the CAI and the exhaust at least. Then do the headers which would be the most. Do it all at once is what I would do. Just my 2 cents and good luck.

Doing it all at once is prefferable. It saves a lot of time and complications. I did it backwards and it worked out alright though. I would suggest intake and exhaust at the same time since you dont absolutly need a tune for these and then headers and a tune at the same time since you will definitly need a tune for the headers (they make you run rich). Hope this helps.

Will I notice (feel) a big difference in torque and hp after all is complete?

You will definitely feel it in the seat of your pants. I did the intake with exhaust and could feel the difference especially at cruising speed when you floor it.
