Default First time posting over here.

I have finished my cosmetic mods and now I am ready to work on the performance part. The only performance mod I have done is adding Corsa exhaust system. What are some of the mods that you suggest i try to increase horsepower? (besides the obvious twin turbo or supercharger)

Thanks.

For my mildly modded C6, the only three that showed solid gains at the track........headers, tune and the Vararam.

With a mild cam, headers,tune and stock cat back, my car sounds stock until WOT. I got 406RWHP from those mods alone. I'm getting the L92/L76 setup installed as we speak in Durham,NC (CAM). Anxiously awaiting the numbers!!

You could get that with bolt on's. LT headers, Vararam, and a good tune.

What type of headers do I use if I have the Corsa exhaust installed? Do I need an x-pipe also?

You can use any of them. They all come with their own x-pipe, with or without cats. They all will mate up to the Corsa's.
