Default Mods for the C6

I was wondering when some mods would more than likely be coming out for the C6. I figure some people here would have insight on this subject.

I am looking at intake/exhaust upgrades when they come out, maybe a programmer.

Thanks!

So far a 2004 C5 t-stat will fit in the LS2...

Since Corsa is the only Official GM Licensed after market exhaust manufacture I wouldn't be surprised if Corsa doesn't have something ready to release when the C6 hits the streets.

I would say the exhaust wont be long after production starts...

Useless (from a performance standpoint) mods that will come out:

Intake
Thermostat
Mufflers

Useful mods that will come out:
Straight pipes to eliminate mufflers
Long tube headers

You could add superchargers to the list. I'm sure that ATI & Magnacharger have units for the C6.

Good point. Too bad we're not getting forged internals...again.

What would you think are the better mods for the money? I am trying to even the score with mother nature here, maybe a little more. I live at 6,000 ft and all of the city is 5,000 ft +.
Not interested in a Supercharger but really love the way a Corsa Exhaust sounds.

Thanks for the input guys I really appreciate it.

I'll be happy with a K&N replacement filter. Hopefully they are the same as the C5.

Camshafts should be available as soon as the LS2 is released. With the similarities to current LSx engines and only needing the cam sensor to be on the opposite end of the bump stick, I would think those are ready to go.

Wheels and lowering it a bit should be easy.
