Finally got what I wanted! Traded in my new Crossfire Roadster with 3,800 on it (not even the first oil change) for a 2004 C5 silver coupe with 6,600 miles on it. Took a real bath with the trade but the Vette looks great in the garage!

Looking forward to learning a lot and probably spending more money based on what I learn from you "Vettes". First thing I want to do is headers and exhaust, any suggestions?

Hopefully these pic's works below and thanks in advance.

Hello, and Welcome to the forum!

Your pictures are not appearing. Looks like you need to add a [ to the first IMG tag for each picture.

Aloha and welcome to the CF, congratulations on your nice C5, like it with the C6 chrome wheels.

I just installed my Jet Hot Coated Kooks headers 1 7/8" with Off road cat delete pipes and X-pipes hooked to my already installed Borla Stingers.

Most Popular Headers:
LG Motorsports Pro and Street series
Kooks Headers
American Racing Headers
Dynatech Supermaxx

Exhaust:
Borla
Corsa

All depends on your plans and how much you are willing to spend. Have fun and don't forget to wave.

Welcome to the forum ! You are correct, you will spend even more money in moding out your vette, but it's fun doing it. Spent over 3K on mods for a vette that should be here in a month...even more time to spend more $$$

Enjoy your new ride!
