Default Mods?

2005 Z51 MZ6 - 41K

Only mods are K&N filter and Nxt Step Performance axle back. Looking for what might be the best HP/value out there. If you had this setup, what would your next mod be? Happy Thanksgiving to all!

FAST 102 or headers (OBX or Texas Speed)

Those would be the next "bang for the buck" mods.

X pipe, or that would not do much more for the money?

If you just have the K&N filter and not the whole new air intake, change the intake and add a Fast 102 as others have stated with some headers. Let her breathe. The 2005 intake and manifold was very restrictive.

Also, you have a 2005 M6. Be very careful with your differential as you add more power. You may need a upgrade if you go to high in the HP.

Here's a solid thread from my pal Joe. See if this helps you out. He has the same car as you.
