Do you have a Z51? Ceramic pads will eliminate the squeaking, but stopping distance is a tad longer.

Don't have a clue re #1, but go read the C6 FAQ thread on "bedding the brakes," that will take care of your squeeky brakes pronto.

some folks have remove the screen on the mass air with out problems...this one is a tough call,...i personally wouldn't since i don't have a local tuner that can tune on 06. if you are referring to the radiator shroud, don't remove this, if help direct air into your ac condenser and radiator.
just do a couple hard stops from high speed, it will go away.....and it will come back later also....
