Just find the rotations per mile on OEM size tires and then match that with tires that fit whatever 19/20 wheels you like. Check the calculators on the Tire Rack website.

I had the same OEM wires on my '08 from day 1 until I sold it with 161K miles. Headers were installed approx at the 50K mark. No problems, Can't speak for the C7 though.

I took them off my '08 and gained .004 MPG. I attributed .003 MPG to the aerodynamic drag change and the other .001 to the weight savings. You might think that was a lie, but it was.

IIRC all '09-'13 6L80's are the same. You can do a quick check on a GM dealer's back door website to confirm the part number.

1. Use the Z06 manifolds with cats, since that'll pass the visual.
2. Register the car outside of CA and hope you don't get stopped for any other violations.

Earplugs will lessen the valvetrain sound/noise far better and with a lot less expense and labor. If that doesn't work, then you have a much bigger valvetrain issue to resolve.

When that swap was done on a C6, there was little or no change in the 1/4 mile times. One serious racer even swapped back to a 2.56 gear and went a bit (.01 IIRC) quicker with no other changes.
