Default Best mods for the 100% stock bird??

I just picked up my 2002 m6 ws6 last week. I don't want to get too crazy with mods, as this is my daily driver for now.

I was thinking of getting a lid and a gmmg exhaust for now.I also plan on changing the oil, plugs, filters, and getting some MSD wires put in.

Any ideas as to which lid to get? Or possibly other daily driver friendly mods????

I've been reading bad things about the fitting of the SLP lids.

Have fun changing your plugs. If you've never done it before it can get frustrating. Lol.. There's a list on here somewhere of free mods you can do, might as well start there.

A lid is a lid is a lid is a lid....just pick your favorite. Actually, the SLP lid that I have is the best-fitting out of the three or four I've owned. I'd say it's the sturdiest as well.

SLP Lids are fine and have your Throttle Body ported & polished for $75 from New Era Performance.Underdrive Pully is great for the money also.GMMG is a very expensive cat back but looks and sounds great.

Those were my first mods when my WS6 was stock....however, I had a LM1 not a GMMG.

Thanks guys, I have made up my mind on the GMMG exhaust. Plus they are not as expensive as they use to be when you went through their website.

Now Vengeance Racing has em for like 680 i think. I would still get it even if it was 800 bucks before install fee or shipping included.

I have the slp lid &it fits fine as long as u seal up the back of it w/some thicker foam. I noticed a much crisper throttle with the air box/lid sealed & the exhaust uncorked.

Shocks, sways &tires are also great daily driver mods imo
