Default Anyone w an Akropovic Exhaust System around NYC/Long Island area

Like the above says. Have Borla's on now. A bit loud at idle, so would like to hear the Akro.

Thanks

Lol.. I just woke up!! Hope you guys have fun!! Are you keeping the 18inch rear setup or are you going with a 19inch? I would even try the Michelin Cup tires that come as part of the Z07 package!!

We wound up doing a photoshoot with a few models and our cars. Was fun, and weather was good.

Going to 19 inch. The MPSC is definitely a contender. I would like to keep the 18 inch wheel, but can't find the right tire size to keep the stock or close to stock height so the rear ratio won't suffer. Anyway with the winter coming in i will prob keep the MT on, as i doubt that even the MPSC will hook on the colder days. I am also getting a lift to make tire swapping much easier. I just started a thread on traction and handling, hopefully we'll hear from members with experiences. Would love to get a 13' wide rim for the rear.
