Default Pickin up vett today lets mods begin. Help

ok picking up a 6 speed 06.

now i just have a few questions on mods

1) does anyone make like 3.90 or 4.10s (i did this on my 04 vett from eastcoastsupercharging helped a lot)

2) Vararam Intake or halltech or slp intake??

3) X pipe and exhaust. I was looking at borla, corsa OR Random Technology . I want a aggressive souding car

4) last but not least long tube headers. I dont want cats on there. Dynatech Supermax Headers, LG Pro Longtube Headers, slp headers or Kooks headers any others you guys can recommend. Like I said a cat converter doesnt have to be on it.

5) last but not least lowering the car. Anything out. I did get the z51 package.

1) Yes, the same source for the C5 and '05 C6 gears has them for the 2006s as well.

2) Vararam or just modify the stock one

3) Any will do but go with what comes with the (see below)

4) Kooks long tube headers, high flow cats and X pipe

5) Lowering the C6 is very similar to lowering the C5s, you can do it on the stock bolts to some extent
