Which CAI/exhaust

I do not plan on doing any internal engine mods or for that matter any mods I can't replace with the OEM(leased car).

What CAI and exhaust mod should I consider.

I am not unhappy with the stock exhaust and may keep it if I cannot be comfortable the after market exhaust will not have a drone at cruise and be too loud at idle.

As for the CAI, if it will improve torque and is a better quality than stock I will probably do it.

Any other mods I should consider.

Thanks

I had the same questions. So far from what I have read, the Vararam and the Vortex Ram seem to be the most popular CAI's.

Not to mention you can get a pre-cut shroud to go with it.

I looked forever for my CAI. I ended up getting a HallTech Stinger. It works great and looks even better.

Headers= LG LT's or KOOKS LT's

My 2 cents

Well, if you are going to go CAI, then go with a true CAI. I have the Honker and I can tell you it works and is very well made. As far as aftermarket exhaust, I have Zoomers. I still love the looks and the sound but the slight drone in the 1500-1650 RPM range (60-65 mph) gets on my nerves. I would probably now go with Corsa Sports if I had to do it all over again.

I have had both the CORSA Touring and Sport models on my C5's. Stock sounding idle, no drone, even with headers! Corsa's are well known for this feature.
