Default Hello from MN in a CTS-V

Hey what's up guys, owned my '06 LS2 V since August. It is my daily driver from Richfield to Roseville and back each day and for fun afterwards.

Car has kooks headers and exhaust and I may be looking for a good place to tune it, if you know of a good reasonable place let me know. Thanks!

Thanks guys. I contacted Carl. No real future plans since it is set up the way I like it with the headers back exhaust. Gets decent enough mileage as a commuter and sounds amazing.
