Default Another great experience at Abel Chevrolet..Corsa Exhaust

Just wanted to share that I had another outstanding experience at Abel Chevrolet..
Rich and his crew did an awesome job installing a Corsa Xtreme Cat-Back System w/ X-Pipe.
Big Jim in the back did a nice clean install and the car came out awesome.
I’ll follow up with my impression of the exhaust and a before and after sound clip but whoa, sounds great.
Thanks again guys, I'll be back soon to install a set of LG Spindles. Corsa Xtreme w/Black Chrome Tips

It's good to hear another dealership is working with C7 owners on aftermarket accessories like exhausts.

My Hendrick dealership would have installed mine, but I had it done by Corsa at the NCM Birthday Bash.

Does Abel Chevrolet install CarboTech 1521 brake pads and aftermarket side skirts? I know some dealers don’t like to touch things that are not OEM. It looks like Abel is someone who works with their customers. Is this true?

A good number of Vette owners in the Bay Area get their cars serviced at Abel. They have done headers, heads and cam on a buddy's C6Z. Rich will take care of you. They are a unique Chevrolet dealership.

They do a ton of aftermarket stuff. I'm so lucky these folks are in my backyard. They are just as much a performance shop as a dealer. The first time I visited the sales guy took me in back to show me the service bays full of vettes, a lot of them track cars, being worked on.

Abel Chevy has to be the #1 dealership for knowing everthing about every generation of Corvette out there. They are so good at what they do and also how honest they are. They have never ever marked up any of the Corvettes they’ve sold.

I’ve also had great service with Abel. Since I relocated my primary residence from the high desert in So Cal up to the Sierra near Yosemite, I’ve taken the ZO6 to Abel for all servicing and maintenance (other then what I do myself in the driveway) even though they’re a 3 hour drive each way.

I just ordered a set of LG Motorsport Drop Spindles from Rich, they should be here in about a week.
Not only did I purchase them through Rich at Abel, but they even matched the manufactures sale price for me.

So far....
CQuartz Ceramic Coating..
5/20 Window Tint..
Full Corsa Xtreme Exhaust..
LG Motorsports Drop Spindles..

I'm building this car to be show worthy.
What should the next mod be?
Wheels maybe?

2017 Corvette Z06/Z07 M7
Watkins Glen Gray Metallic
Sonoma County Harley Davidson

Looks good and you’ll love the sound of the Corsa’s.

Wow, those look great and to have a dealer install them, even better! Need more mod friendly dealers that are smart enough to realize these "bolt ons" arent going to void a warranty.

My car is at Able now getting Monoball bushings and a locking camber kit. They absolutely do aftermarket, and can help you build a race car if wanted.

Car looks great

Next mod Carbotech 1521 brake pads

The Carbotech Bobcat 1521™ is our high performance street compound that is our most successful compound. The Bobcat compound is known for its awesome release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. Like our AX™ & XP™ line of compounds, Bobcat 1521™ is a Ceramic based friction material offering minimal rotor damage and non-corrosive dust. Bobcat 1521™ offers outstanding performance, even when cold, low dusting and low noise with an excellent initial bite. This compound’s virtually perfect linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Bobcat 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 900°F. Bobcat 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle, police cruiser. The Bobcat 1521™ compound has been found to last two-three times longer than OE pads you can purchase at a dealership or national retailer. That’s one of the beauties of Carbotech Ceramic brake compounds. Bobcat 1521™ is NOT recommended for any track use.

Did you discuss whether or not this would void your warranty?
