Corsa exhaust question
Hi, I havent really made my introduction yet but I'll give you a watered down version.
My name is Jeff, I live in Newark DE, I'm 21 and a former Porsche owner.
Anyways, I'll be getting a C6 in the near, near future. I'm still looking for that perfect one but it will have Corsa exhaust on it. I was wondering if you can see the actual silencer from the rear of the car. As when driving behind the vette, can you see the chrome around the exhaust tips and does it take away their effect.
If so, can you use high temp paint to paint the silencer black as to make it dissappear when viewing it from behind? Has anyone done this?
Don't flame, I plan on going the NA route with a comp cam 231/237 .591/.601 112LSA within the first couple months. I just want her to look as sexy as she sounds.

I'm not buying a vette for its fit and finish, I'm buying it for that 6.0L V8 which will soon be enhanced by headers, exhaust, intake and cam package. After clutch and gears of course. I also figure I can replace the boring interior trim with a/m carbon fiber to jazz it up some

Actually, the fit and finish on the Corvette is pretty good. as is the handling and braking. The only place where it needs help is the steering, and even that is forgotten when you hit the throttle. You are on the right track with Corsa, although the rest of the mods you describe may be overkill. BTW, my previous car was an M3 with a bunch of Dinan mods, and I really enjoy the Corvette.
