Great choice. Procharger, cam, and lt's will do wonders for it. Did it come with npp?

If you can make sure you listen to all of your exhaust options before making a decision. I had two friends that wanted to be really loud and went with the corsa only to switch to npp because of its bi-mode. Those A6's run good though. I know of a LS2 that runs 10.5's with h/c/e and a stall.

Hey paul are you on LSXMonsters?

Agreed. My car had the B&B Route 66 when I got it, nice deep tone outside the car, too quiet for my taste, but WAY too loud inside. Switched it out for the NPP and couldn't be happier. Long tubes, high flow cats, and the NPP open is nasty sounding!

I need new tires, as you can hear haha-

Funny you mention B&B. My friend had it on his JSB C6 and it sounded amazing on the outside but was ridiculous on the inside and droned like crazy. He too switched to the NPP. Car sounds great dude and yeah those tires are about done lol.

Nice!

Yes, the drone with the B&B was only slightly better than the NPP OPEN, while outside the car it's only slightly louder than the NPP closed ha. Inside with the NPP closed I can just barely hear the exhaust over the tire and wind noise.

The tires are still good actually lol, but are just 305 Invos on 19s. On the street they usually hook perfect in first gear. I need some drag radials next time I go to the track! It also doesn't help that I don't think the track prep there is near as good as most places, and it was raining for the first half of the day haha.

I run the 305 ET streets and I spin first and a little in second then they roll out. Just about done though. Not doing anymore tires until I do the rear widebody with new wheels and tires sometime before jan.

No current times with the new setup. I went to the track back in April and broke an axle so never got a chance to run it. Waiting on this sweaty/stanky *** Louisiana heat to cool off so I can take it back.
