Some parts installed at Carlisle (side skirts) and ARH mid-length headers.

ACS. They're a forum vendor. Fit like they were installed in Kentucky

There was a 2015 C7 on display at the GM Tent with the splitter/skirt GM option and while the splitter is a little different, the GM and ACS Skirts are very very similar.

Will do. Weather hasn't been conducive to all impression gathering

Sound is much improved. In 'T' there is a deeper sound, and almost as loud as bone stock in 'S' or 'Tr'. In open mode it sounds very much like a Corvette should. Drew a nice little crowd when it came down off the lift for first start and everyone seemed to approve. Of course the only one that needs to approve of my mods is me

I'm happy No rattles or odd noises, or check/warning lights, and this over some 'interesting' road surfaces.

There was a blue Z06 in the GM tent that had the coolest side skirts, in my opinion. They were not straight edged but pinched in middle to rear. Damn I wish I had a picture. I am going tomorrow so I'll get a picture then ( Sunday).

Steve, Thanks for choosing ARH, those mids have consistently gained 22-24whp across the entire curve.

The front lip and side skirts do look OEM, lots of compliments from people walking by.
