Default 05 C6 questions

I have a 05 C6 and im new to the vette world. I bought this car cause i wanted a street car i didn't have to hear a blower or put race fuel in it. I have a twin turbo 03 cobra making almost 1000hp and this was my street car but now it's a lil much to just cruise around. that being said i wanna do bolt on's to this car and keep it where i can go anywhere and not put race fuel or worry about tearing something up.. I already put a cold on the car and got a Predator tuner on the way. Next is exhaust . Please give me a idea on basic bolt ons and power levels to expect. also curious on gears, shifter, t/b, and undrive crank pulley.. also is there anything i can replace to take more weight of the car. i seen a thread on the battery.. thanks for all your info like i said im new to the vette game and im really getting into it. but just looking to have a fun semi fast cruiser.. p.s also is thermostat wires and plugs worth upgrading too...

your on the right track, all your normal bolt-on's fast 102 intake, Nick Williams 102 TB, kooks long tube and your choose of muffler set up, and make sure you get a tune to really get the most off all your work good luck and have fun. as far as shaving weight not much beside pulling pass seat unless you want to tear it all apart and gut it. you could drop big cash and go all carbon fiber. either way the car is good on weight, the more power u make the lighter it gets, LOL.

on my wifes 05 that we recent got we just put headers, ported intake SLP CAI and Chuck's tune
the car is really nice as is
was sooooooooooo easy to do the exhaust

for exhaust there are what seems like endless options, so just go for a sound/brand you desire
