Default 2012 Centennial Grand Sport

Guys and Gals,

I would like to get some advice from the fellow C6 owners out there. I would like to add some exhaust pieces to my Grand Sport. What pieces would you add to get the most power other than headers?

I am looking to get some horsepower and a meaner sound from the exhaust.

Could you also recommend a manufacturer in your reply and where you purchased your items.

Thanks a bunch.

There's not really anything you can add to the exhaust other than headers to get power.

I would go with a quality air intake like Black Wing or Callaway and (of course) the 100% American Made American Racing Headers. And finally a good tune!

All I did was install a manual switch for the NPP. If you didn't order NPP, then Corsa is the cheapest solution to increased noise but no drone inside. Good luck.

First off the most bang for your buck would be a set of headers and I would recommend American Racing Headers. Their quality, fitment and customer service is second to none and their headers are 100% American made. If you don't have a NPP exhaust already I would retrofit one of these systems so you can have loud when you want and quiet when you want.
