Default New Vette in NC

Hello all. I have a 2006 z51 and am looking forward to upgrading it. I'm looking for sensible upgrades that won't compromise reliability. If anyone knows a reputable shop near Charlotte NC, I'd love to hear about it. I'm thinking of starting with an intake and exhaust. I've called the dealership closest to me and they indicate that they won't do this sort of work. The dealership I purchased my car from is about 120 mi away. Any advice, recommendations or experience folks want to share with me would be greatly appreciated.

Congrats on the 06 Vette!! You will be driving around for quite a while with a big "corvette grin" on your face! Welcome to the Forum. They are great for learning more about vettes and you will meet a lot of new friends. As far as mods go, you can learn a lot on the forums. I suggest you wait a little while until you figure out what you really like and want.
