I have a 2013 MN6 Grand Sport w/NPP mufflers.
In about a Month a set of coated ARH 1 7/8" Long tubes & the full 3" catted X-pipe that I bought will be arriving at my house. I bought the full 3" X-pipe because I also bought Akrapovic Zo6 Slip-On mufflers. While I'm at it, I'm thinking about getting a MSD Atomic AirForce Intake 2703 or FAST 103. I just don't know which Intake has had the best results. Any feed back will be much appreciated.
Side note, if anyone is in the market for the NPP mufflers, OEM cats & mid-pipe or exhaust manifolds, I will be selling them.

There are threads on here stating the LS3 intake is pretty darn good and a Fast isn't worth it.
Thanks. That's about what I was hearing. I had been thinking that the tune, Headers, CAI & exhaust. Should be about where I want it at for the time being. I was just wondering, like you said, "isn't worth it". Maybe FI is in this car's future...I haven't taken it to a track. It's just a street car & my daily driver. So probably no cams in it's future. I guess I will play it by ear. Thanks for the reply on the intake.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I like the idea of FI maybe in the future. Forced Induction would be a possibility in my mind only after all supporting mods are already performed. Can anyone on here chime in on this transmission mount set- ( http://afepower.com/shop/details_new...dt&brandID=142 )? Or other supporting mods drivetrain related? I am really trying to build it up to be really stout but w/durability as a main focus.
They will hold everything rock solid, but have enough dampening to them that you not going to feel ever rotation on the torque/crank shaft instead.
P.S, no joy installing them since the cradle have to be dropped down, while the engine/trans and diff is supported up to change both out.
You guys are GREAT!!! It's so awesome for me to get on CF & get some instant feed back on about any Corvette related topic. You guys are much faster answering questions than UPS is delivering the stuff I bought. I will post pictures of the Coated Headers & Akrapovic exhaust as soon as they arrive. Thanks again everyone!
Hi i want to buy a GS.
Do you recommend it ?
Is it slower thatn the base c6
I really like my GS. It has all the good parts of a Zo6 minus the LS7 engine. My Manual GS has the dry sump LS3 so that's a plus. In my opinion, it is only slightly slower than the base in stock from due to being slightly heavier. It will hold up better than the base if you plan on modding it some. If I could do it all over again, I would still get a manual GS over a base C6.

Yeaa. I like the z06 but the ls7 has some issues. And yes with the GS first i will be on bolt ons and maybe after a year put a supercharge on it. Its 100lbs heavier that's not much i think.
One last question. Does the GS come with a unique manual or the same as the base. Because i read the dry sump takes 10.5 quarts of oil and other things are different than the base
Thnx
I was going to chime in here but you've already received the advice I was going to give.
I put together a thread of all my mods with dyno sheets and track results that you might find interesting to see how the mods fit together if you decide to go heads/cam, and you should do them in order. You're off to exactly the right start if you're considering a blower.

In the GSregistry site it says something about specific gear ratios of the manual trans GS & tells some of the other features that are unique to the 2010 & up C6 Grand Sport=(http://www.grandsportregistry.com/2010_GS_info.htm)
This shows some of the Dry Sump engine oiling features=(
