Default Italy calls us ! 😀

Good morning everyone
I introduce myself I am Gio Bressana
Italian artist and future owner ( October ).of a c8 ..in my life I already had several corvettes
A c3 two c6 a c7 and now the big step for the.c8

I wanted to ask you if you could kindly give me some advice on the modifications I would like to make
As I tried the c8 for a whole day and the noise does not represent the brand rather it sounds like a fiat :-( 😞
I would be predisposed for :

Intake ( carbon fiber I don't remember the.brand )

Exhaust headers ( american reacing ?)
Exhaust terminals ( I don't know but I would like a crazy sound without having too much drone )
Plus I ask you if you need to act on the ECU as here in italy they know.practically nothing and I would not like to have problems with the warranty

Sorry maybe they are too many.questions but.I know you can help me thank you very much

Intake: Corsa or aFe, both carbon fiber and both topped Paragon's dyno shootout

Headers: American Racing or aFe Twisted Steel

Sport cats: Probably Fabspeed or Soul to get European cat cores, but in America I typically suggest Corsa

Catback/muffler: Sounds like you like it loud so I'd say Borla Atak or Corsa

ECU: nothing needed here

I would also suggest you also consider a ported throttle body as well to pair with the intake. Take a look at Soler Performance 91mm eff. for that.

No, don't bother with that as it's showing minimal gains in independent testing. I personally opted for a simple ported stock intake manifold from SoCal Porting.
