Modding a 03 z06, what for first mod?
Modding a 03 z06, what for first mod? My old man has an 03 z06 that is factory stock, hes thinking of doing some bolt ons. He is curious as to which one is going to free up more power. I told him the headers hands down, what is your guys opinion??

headers and catback. good ones make the z06 sound wicked as well. don't cheap out here, stainless all the way. I'd go with some LG motorsports C5 headers. Keep the cats on or get hiflow cats to keep the sound refined. Catback is up to you guys. And of course a vararam intake.
Depends on how much money he wants to spend, how much power he wants.
Personally, I would procharge it. Add headers later for more power.
Headers on an 03 Z06 with a tune should produce in the 370rwhp range. I highly reccoment Kooks headers.

CHIWS6 vararam, LG Pro LT headers, nitto's and u'll be good to go for a while
btw with the above mods i ran a best of 11.78/117 1.69 60' last november with stock tune

Isnt that like barely a tenth faster than stock? i see anywhere from 12.1 to 11.7 bone stock!

1. Headers, like you said.
2. Induction
3. Tune
A cat-back will not really help all that much on a bolt-on car other than sound. That said, I saw a couple of dyno graphs of the new LGM 3" catback that got my attention.

the headers just came yesterday and we didnt know that they dont come with gaskets. They also forgot to ship the vara.... We will be putting the headers on in the next 2 weeks. Ill post up some soundclips!
Not necessarily. The SLP dual dual exhaust, which was available for stock Camaro SS's, is maybe the best performance cat-back exhaust system available for F-body's and is also one of the quietest.
