Hi guys, let me just start by saying what a great forum this is, im looking forward to start participating here. my name is Ahmad and I live in the UAE ( United Arab Emirates ),
with that being said, my first sports car will be a c6 corvette grand sport 2012. and I would like to add a few bolt ins to it, please read the below and tell me what would you add, change or do differently.
CAI: halltech super bee.
Exhaust: corsa xtreme.
headers: LG pros longtubes or American racing or kooks.
camshaft: not really sure yet what brand i should buy as I don't have that much expertise in cams, but I want something that can be daily driven for a few days a week and has a nice rumble to it.
tune: custom dyno tune.
please tell me what is your opinion, thanks yall.

CAI - Vararam
Exhaust - Factory NPP w M2W Switch
Headers - TSP No Cats (save the $$$)!!!!
Cam - Too many great cam kits for different needs so make calls to the vendors on this forum and compare
Tune - Good call on the Dyno Tune although a Street Tune will often suffice and is typically a bit cheaper.
Welcome to the forum and good luck!

thank you for the welcome and the reply. I'll definitely consider what you said above, but do you by any chance have any idea where I could buy a mild 2 wild switch?

the CAI - Vararam is a good system, but depending on the amount you will be driving the car in dusty condition in UAE, may be a set-back instead with having to keep the filter clean instead.
Hence the intake for the air filter with the Vararam it moved to the front of the car low and at the front nose opening of the front fender just being the grill, so it will be sucking dust up a lot faster isntead.
So on that note, not sure I would go with the full honey bee set up, but instead just run the stock Air filter system, drop on a top cover like the one of the honey bee, and then slightly prop the radiator shroud open to pull cool air up in the stock filter location isntead.
As for cams, sky is the limit and you can pick up some great HP with them, but the more HP your trying to pick up, the worse it can have with Low RPM surging/drive-ability in heaver traffic conditions instead.
As for tune, if you don't have someone local to dyno tune it correctly, then you there is other options with data logging to dial in a tune instead.
If the car comes with NPP, then leave it in play. Something like a mild to wild switch will allow you to leave the muffler in loud mode with all 4 tips opens, plus have the option to switch the system back into quiet mode when needed instead.
