Got a 2002 Z06!!!! Picked up a 02 Z06 today, red with 32,000 miles., black interior. I drove up to Milwaukee to get it. It had new GM tires and brakes. Thanks Chris!
I forced myself to leave traction control on since I was tempted to show off.
Thanks to Nine Ball, J-Rod and the guys for their advice...

I'm interested in:
UD Pulley
X Pipe
Trunk Partition
CAI
I've already forgotten what CAI is the most popular, but I think it's the Vararam. I can see getting one of those pretty quick.

While you're doing the pulley you might as well do a cam at the same time, the steering rack needs to be removed.
If you plan on racing it with sticky tires get a DTE brace and hardend drivers side output shaft.
With any CAI you have to tune the car, the Vararam is a pain in the *** to install, I had one and wasn't too impressed. Now I have a Halltech Stinger and love it.

I got my partition from www.southerncarparts.com
I also have their storage tray, the compartments are big enough to hold my DE.50
The partition blocks out alot of the noise

John, give me a call and I'll give you a deal on the Raptor XXL Cold Air Intake...you'll be impressed and end up spending 1/4 the time installing it, 1/2 the money and make all the power...if not more.

No doubt you will enjoy the new ride!!
I installed a partition from CorvettePartz It did get rid of a lot of road noise but hardly phased the exhaust (that may have to do with having LG longtubes, catless X, and B&B PRT ).
The best cheap mod you can do is install some Infinity Kappa 32.7F 3.5" 2 ways in your doors..... you will be amazed!
As mentioned above, if you want to change the pulley do a cam swap at the same time. Getting the steering rack out of the way can be a pain and not an experience you want to do often if you dont have to. I'm in the process of installing the G5X3 right now and should have it finished/dyno tuned in the next couple of days.

I don't have aftermarket exhaust, but I did drive an 03 Z06 with a Corsa, and it was hard to carry on a conversation inside the car.
Sam is that how big an Xpipe is for a stock manifold car? Dang.
