You will have a hard time getting the grin off your face. It might never happen. Congratulations on a good looking Corvette.

Congrats on buying the correct color!

(kidding, there's not a bad color for these cars, IMO)


As far as exhaust, see if it's got the variable NPP exhaust from the factory, if so, get a Mild to Wild switch and you'll be able to keep it quiet when needed, or open up the valves when you want to be loud.

Enjoy!

I was looking for a NPP option. Couldnt find one in my price range. Got a great deal on this 2008 with only 40k miles on it. Ill prob shop for a used Borla or Corsa.

Oh ok.

When I got mine, I didn't even know about the option. I thought the previous owner had put aftermarket exhaust on it, but he had just pulled the NPP fuse.

A big ol' duh on my part! LOL

I should have done some more research here before I bought it, but as it turned out, I got lucky, and the great depth of knowledge here sure has helped me since!

Some after having it for a few days Ive noticed some brake squeal. Doesnt happen all the time but more than Id like. I did some research and it seems to be a common problem for the Z51 packages. But mines the base model. Something I should worry about or is it a common issue?
