Default First post **need advice**

To start off, I couldn't come up any names that weren't taken, hence the name I came up with.

Ok so I've purchased my first c6 corvette. Its a 2008 silver 3lt package with z51 package.

Bought the car wrecked, and the damage isn't to bad but looks like the previous owner was running nitrous and he left the wiring and hoses but took off the air intake and throttle body along with a few other things.

I've never messed around with nitrous before and I was wondering would he have aftermarket parts on there, or do people run that off factory parts?

Any recommendations? I'll need a new throttle body, new maf and air intake. and its got headers and exhaust (no muffler). I was considering adding a muffler to it as well.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
