Default Mods to 07 C6

After doing a lot of searching I think this is what I want to do to my 07. Your thought's please.

LG Pro Long Tube headers, off-road, with C6 Z06 rear pipes for 3" mufflers

Borla C6 Z06 Touring 3" muffler system

HallTech cold air intake

Diablo Predator( to tune until I can get pro tune and to save factory and pro tune)

and 4-10 gears when and if they ever come available.

I would go with some Hi Flow CATS. To me, it is not worth the stink to not have cats. They shouldn't reduce your HP by much, if any. Plus when it comes time to get that inspection done, you shouldn't have to worry.

Even though I am picking up the car in Kansas City I should be able to get the new car two year sticker here in Texas, plus my county, Hays, does does not have the tail pipe test-yet. It has also been my experience that if the system looks like factory on a new car the inspectors don't know if it came with them or not! I am sure that if I keep the vette over two years I would have to get something though.

You only lose maybe 3 to 4 hp.

My thought was I would be ready for more mods, but the truth is all I want is around 50 extra HP, and do not ever plan on going into the engine or doing a different intake.

What would you suggest?

get the lg's with cats 1895, a callaway honker 385 (true cold air), exhaust of your choice 1000(corsa), a ported intake 200, ported tb 110,
and a tune 2-500.

easy 50hp and you didnt go into the motor
