First thing for me, skip-shift elimination. :P

 

simple appearance mods until I feel the need for more power

 

i'm honestly leaning toward either Pypes, or Rousch exhaust. I like the mid muffler sound with an x-pipe.
but im definatly going to wait and see how it sounds stock first before ripping it apart.

a blower is definalyy in the future, not a matter of if.. but more of a matter of WHEN.

 

My first mods will be tint and louvres. As soon as an SLP Loudmouth comes out for the exhaust, I'll probably throw that on there. I had one on my 2007 Corvette and it was godly so I can't wait to hear it on the 5.0

 

I actually already bought the Pype Bomb axlebacks because the price I got them for was too good to pass up. It should fit on the 2011 model as it is only an axleback and they fit all S197 GTs so far. Other simple mods I will do right after are window tint and alarm system with remote start. Will probably do a CAI and tune as soon as they become available too.

 

A college buddy of mine works for Tenneco Automotive (Rancho, Dynomax, Walker and other auto brands) and they are using my car to prototype their 5.0 cat back so i get to keeo the hand made prototype for free

 

What if you don't like the way it sounds afterwards?

Are they going to keep your stock exhaust in tact so you can re-install it just in case?

 

That's what I was thinking. The chances that you'll like the way it sounds the best (compared to the other catbacks that will be manufactured) are slim.

 

Ia m going to be there the day that we do it, we are going to try like 10 different muffler styles I am positive I will find I like.

and yes I will keep stock

 

Ground Force lower kit, 19" wheels/P255/40R19 tires, maybe a duck tail spoiler... still debating on a CDC chin spoiler - the OE bumper scrapes a bit on my lowered '05 GT...
