Default C-6 Performance Boost

I have just bought a 2006 C-6. I would like to add a few accessories to get a little more snort.. What can you guys suggest thats not too major. I did switch out the stock airfilters and installed AFe's. Exhaust? Power Chip?

A real air intake like Lingenfelter,Callaway,Vararam. And a good dyno tune by a reputable shop.

Callaway, port the throttle body, 160 degree thermostat, and underdrive pulley. Headers would also be a very wise investment, along with a tune after it's all completed.

It's 1268.18 installed walk out the door for the Callaway Honker, 160* t-stat, Underdrive Pulley Kit, Port throttle body, and installation. The headers and a tune are 2735.84 extra...

Don't forget a cam will only cost you 1655.98 installed.... That's an instant 50-75 rwhp

No Chips.

1st mod - Cat Back Exhaust: BB loudest; Borla Deep & Loud; Corsa More Ferrari like; Magna Flow least exp

Cold Air Intake: many out there. I have Calloway

Longtube Headers: Kooks or LGM

after that you need to go to a tuner.

Read, search, learn.
