Living in a small rural town as I do options are limited with no real Corvette specialty shops, and the tuner who was highly recommended I heard was just diagnosed

I found this article and the install doesn't look terrible.

Thanks for all the suggestions and advice for exhausts and tunning. I'm happy to give my business to people on here over Summit/Jegs etc.

Get 1 3/4 headers. They make much more torque than the bigger 1 7/8, unless your going the supercharger route get the smaller headers. You should be fine even if you do heads and cam with 1 3/4 headers. Remember, torque is what gets you to the finish line quicker. It also breaks your neck.

I did, I went with LG headers with a full high flow cats with x pipe and corsa xtreme axle back. I'll probably go ahead abd do plugs and wires as well. Any thoughts on a cold air intake as well?

Halltech vs vararam is probably the most classic intake war for the c6.
I would do halltech. Better quality finish and has the stock look with the beehive. That's what i will be getting.

Only downside is that with the vararam, you have to cut the radiator shroud to make it fit because of it's design. I would recommend halltech.

I understand where Dave is coming from as far as where does the fresh air come from, the Vararam actually brings in fresh air via the 'scoop", having said that I was cruising the vendors and noticed this little addition to the intake market, seems to do pretty much the same thing all while retaining the OEM intake system which by all reports supplies adequate air up to Z06 standards. What do ya think ?? Oh and at a substantial reduction in money spent.

i do like pulling the air from the front of the bumper verses from the same area that is feeding the radiator on other designs ..

Maryland has a deal for kooks lt headers in both 1 1/3 and 1 7/8 with x pipe and this intake for a killer price.

The Halltech unit, from the looks of it, supplies a similar shroud with their unit

Glad to help out Jaime, thought about getting one for myself actually in conjunction with the intake shroud from Corvette Mods so I can keep my OEM intake but just supply more "fresh air".
