Yeah, I totally will! I have a 100 q's already, right down to turning off the engine and shaking.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Have you had any luck with aftermarket mounts. I checked with uuc but they are still not relased.

Also, I am looking at buying kooks headers with a maggie exhaust, but I am wondering if the headers and exhaust combo will drone in the cabin. I drive to cali o see my gf once a month and dont want the headache. Are any of you running a similar set up?

I think he is talking about that last little hickup the LS6 gives you after you shut'er down.

My Z06's and CTS-V did the same but like Chef said if its REALLY rocking around on ya - check the motor mounts.

Enjoy the new car!


Drone ... I spit in the face of this Drone!!!!

Sorry Chef,

"Maggie" meaning magnaflow exhaust. I really want those kooks headers with high flow cats!! How loud are they at highway speeds with cc on?

Thanks

Check out youtube for exhaust sound....found a few a while ago.

I'm thinking Corsa if anything...I get a resonance with an '07 w/stock exhaust at around 70mph at neutral throttle - can't tell if it is the exhaust or the drivetrain..?? Any thoughts?
