Default Best Bolt On Mods

Anyone have any ideas for cost effective bolt on mods for C6. I heard the intake and exhaust on C6 don't do much. Has anyone had any noticeable gains with simple bolt ons. I have an 05 stock M6 LMB C6.

Not bolt on but lots of bang for the buck:
1. Replace stock mufflers w/Magnaflow or Flow Master small cans.
$160-200 for the HW and 50-100 for install = 10-12 HP
2. Big Honker (Calloway) Cold Air intake $390 = 8-10HP

You'll like both

Don't forget LT headers. You need to get the fumes out. Could get another 25hp. A dyno tune up could yield another 15hp.
