Default Newb - I've Been Trolling Threads Looking for Knowledge

So I have been a member since 6/13, my first post, and the reason why I actually joined, was to purchase a Corsa Exhaust for my 2013 Night Race Blue C6. I hate to admit this, however that exhaust is still stilling in the box since June of last year. I tend to over research things and plan so I didn't want to put it on until I found the right CAI to help it breath a bit better.

Anyway, I have been trolling this site for almost a year now since I started thinking about buying a Vette and such. I am still in the process of gathering everything I want to change/add it to make it mine and I am happy to say its been ordered, now I am just waiting and I will still be waiting for warmer weather. MD/VA/DC area here.

The point of this post is to simply say thank EVERYONE for all your help. The forum is filled with a ridiculous amount of information that has provided me with enough information to make my decisions. And most importantly that information has been relevant with little childish bickering about stupid petty crap.

With your help from vendor reviews, pictures and fitment reviews I have ordered centennial cup wheels (competition grey), ZRAL front chin splitter, RPI Side Skirts, CDC Spoiler and SLP Blackwing CAI to compliment my Corsa. I have a stock spare/used diffuser coming in from one of the members that I am going to cut up and see if I can make it more aggressive and functional for what I like.

I am now attempting to figure out the lowering of the car and suspension tweaking/upgrades (its always been the weakness of my knowledge). So, with that said off to more trolling... I mean searching.

Thanks again!
Ken

Good luck he says? Do you have any input on the Corsa Cat back system? I am stumped on if I should or should not do the Blackwing. I have heard a lot of conflicting information/feedback on here concerning the stock air box vs CAI (Blackwing, Vararam snake charmer, K&N) saying its not worth the cost etc....
