I have 05, and love it, great price, and here is your present. Click on the link to your owners manual on the web.http://www.c6registry.com/Technical/manuals/2005OM.pdf

Retired & lovin' it!
I've got AR Headers on my '05 with their hi-flo cats & Corsa Sport mufflers. Love the set-up. If you do go the header route, I would recommend a tune to get the best performance.

Good deal, enjoy it. As for headers no suggestions other than be prepared to the price.

congrats.. I will tell you that in place of the headers (unless you have the funds for both) you should grab a set of '08 NPP mufflers and the controller (retrofit kit) the best bang for the buck and fun in a vette there is.. nice for cruising around and then POW it's screamin, then back to quiet, no drone... The programmer i bought from sunset orange creations is a little pricey but the reward is well worth it.. programmable open and close plus on demand? look into the NPP + that controller..
IMO, without the NPP the headers + exhaust gets annoying on a long highway cruise.. The only exhaust I've ever had that didn't drone was a Corsa cat back on a LT header car.. big money. but i still would take the NPP over it..
