    What kind of Exhaust System???

    The Borla Stingers are to loud for me. I have Corsa Pace Car with Pro Tips that I just love. Quiet cruising and loud at WOT.

    New Owner - Cup Holder Question

    I have the cup holder that velco's to the left door. It works fine for normal driving conditions (no boost!!). It was one of my first mods.

    Using a heat gun makes it much easier to install and form Cascade or Dynamat

    To Lower or not to lower the C5 ..??

    Get frame savers and rocker rails from A&A Corvette Specialties ti protect the body if your going to lower it. The wheeled frame savers are great to get in and out of inclined driveways and the rocker rails have prevented damage to my rockers going over large speedbumps.

    Brake upgrade for 2003 C5

    The Baer Eradispeed or Baer Enhanced rotors that are slotted and cross-drilled are great looking and performing street rotors. Since all cross-drilled rotors can develop micro cracks under extreme conditions, I would get slotted rotors for serious track useage.

    Any idea on horsepower & torque this makes......

    My first round of mods: blackwing, Corsa cat-back exhaust, and Powerloader II programming changes netted 17RWHP in my 02 vert A4 with 2.73 gears. Adding TTS headers, X-pipe, and high flow cats netted an additional 21 RWHP. Now with A&A Corvettes custom ATI P1SC supercharger install I'm at 478...

    Hoodliner

    Just gently pull them out. A large screwdriver or putty knife makes it easier.

    Interior question...

    Vette Essentials is the best available. The leather is superior to OEM and the color matches perfectly.

    My 2003 Vette pings

    I currently run Chevron 91 octane gas without any problems. Before the SC install, I had a Blackwing and ran Arco gas without problems. The PCM should relearn the extra airflow from a different air filter. It doesn't sound like your PCM has compensated for the added airflow by increasing fuel flow.

    sound from right rear wheel area

    I had a similar sound. It was the core of the catalytic converter that came apart.

    Sound insulation

    I used Cascade V1 which is thinner than Dynamat, then glued down a layer of Reflectix(the foil covered bubble wrap insulation material available at Home Depot). This along with replacing the run-craps reduced interior noise substantially.

    Anyone run 18" rims all the way around?

    I run Z06 chromies 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rears. Michelin Pilot Sports 265x35x18 front and 295x35x18 rears. Lowered about 1". I like the look of 18" wheels

    Convertible window fell out

    Found this in another forum ---------------------------------------- The rear glass on my '98 vert came loose from the convertible top. The glass didn't fall, it hangs by two straps that are secured to the top itself. I called the dealer and the entire top needs replacing. The cost, since I'm...

    Thoughts on Lowering a C5

    No real problems with lowering, you just have to be more careful. I cut about 1/2 of the front bushing off the front and lowered the back about 1". You can lower a base suspension car more than a Z51 or Z06 suspension due to softer springs in the base suspension. Would install A&A frame savers...

    Battery: Optima Red Top.... large or small?

    The Optima Red Top 78/34 (large) is rated at 900 CCA. The Yellow Top is slightly less but can handle more discharge/recharge cycles when you have large current draws (amps, etc). The Yellow Top is also better if the car is stored for long periods.

    GPS Systems

    I've got a Garmin Street Pilot III that I use in both the Vette and SUV. It was great on the 50th Caravan back to BG and Nashville. Had all the hotels programmed in.

    C5 vs. Z06 handling

    My 02 A4 vert started with the base suspension which was confortable but floaty with to much body lean. The 1st suspension mod a made was Z06 sway bars which reduced the body lean. After that I replaced the base springs with the Z51 springs and added Bilstein Sport shocks. This package has...
