Default Mod bug bit for the first time

I imagine it will be the first of many . I decided to improve on the sound of the car while also making the rear look just a little bit sexier.

(BEFORE)


After shot coming soon!!!! I picked up a Dual B&B Bullet exhaust. I've listened to a bunch of sound clips and they seem to have the deepest sound which I COMPLETELY love. I did read a lot about drone which I'm not too worried about since I'm driving a 6-speed and can very easily shift out of it if I need to. Also this weekend I'll be putting on some OEM chrome C6 wheels and lowering it on stock bolts

You are not supposed to post until AFTER you finish the mod. Now you leave us all wanting more

Now hurry up and post the after pic

One more thing. If you need any help with HID's, catback exhaust, or vararam install help let me know!!

Hey when you get your exhaust done can you please let me know i would love to meet you some where to hear it. I am really considering getting a B&B exhaust system. Sounds like to great Mod's, i have had my 02 C5 for a year now so it is time to start making my own mod's.
