Default Mod Time

Ok I need some good advice from the experts. I would like to mod my C6 six speed vert. I am looking at doing long tubes, exhaust, and intake. Can members please give me the best advice on these products like Kook headers are what I am looking at. I would like to get the best for my money and currently Tyberne is running an awesome sale with 200 off header and exhaust when purchased together. I will have automasters in Durham NC put them in even though I am in Boston because tyberne although they have great prices is not doing installations currently. Please give me details such at 7/8 and all that because I dont know what all that stuff means but I know I am ready to mod. Thanks

I need your help so I can make a wise decision. I would like the car to still be able to pass emissions and try to avoid as much as possible engine lights come on etc..... Thanks again

You want the Kooks with the 1 3/4 inch primaries, only get the 1 7/8 if you plan to get a big cam and heads/FI, etc...

You also need the high flow cats and the O2 extensions.

I would pass on the exhaust unless you like/need the sound, it will not add any HP, you can save that money for something else, like a tune, which will be required to make the most power, and to make sure the check engine light stays off.

The vararam intake is the best out there.

This combo should net you at least 30 HP

If you must get exhaust, Borla (Stingers) sound the best but have the most drone, if you like a decently quiet cabin, get the Corsa's.
Just remember the car will already be much louder with just the headers.
