You can get Borlas for under $700 if you buy them online. Extremely easy install if you have a lift, or at least some jack stands. ---

Stinger sound mean! I have the full Magnaflow exhaust. very nice system, not too loud but throaty. As H8 said, long tube headers are the way to go, little bit of work involved. Lifts are god when you work on one of these cars. I hate working on it without one. Had to swap the balancer while having the front jacked up and me on my back on the floor FTMFL. ---

The more I look at that C5 the more I fall in love with the way they look. I have been a big C6 fan but damn… that C5 is growing on me. Price is about right too for that year and miles… Very nice car. Enjoy! ;D ---

Went on a little shopping spree last night and bought the first mods for my vette. A blackout kit for the taillights and turnsignals. Lowering hardware. By the way guys it costs about $20 to lower a vette. Borla true x-pipe. Total cost: $275 ---

Extremely easy to do and you won’t need to have the car realigned. If you do the aftermarket bolts, you’ll only get another half inch or so and you’ll have to have the car realigned. Just something to think about. ---

the C4 vette is not great, but not as bad as the C3 was, atleast the C4 had the ZR-1 to offer. ---
