A riddle for helpful CAC members: If I replace the 1999 C5 stock headlight bulbs with Sylvania Silverstar 9006ST & 9005ST High Performance Halogen bullbs, about how many fuses will blow and how much money will it cost me to get back to having the original stock yellow-glow bulbs? Is there a...

Polite people say there is no question too stupid to ask. But here I am with what might be a question that is too stupid to ask. I need to replace a license plate bulb. That's one of the two bulbs above the license plate. Can it be accessed by pulling out and removing the inside carpeted...

Is this a new question... or is it just too simple to even ask? I want to replace the new GM wiper blades I bought six months ago. They both squeak. One has a very slight gap where the 1 inch plastic holder is rivieted into the wiper frame. It is that 1 inch plastic holder that the arm fits...

Thanks for the comments I appreciate your comments and experiences. I got what seems like a somewhat shorter throw by replacing the stock shift knob with a billet ball. It looks good and seems to have reduced the overall height of the stick. But I won't measure the stick before and after...

When I spotted this situation, I hoped my first thought would be wrong. However, I was proven right. ...And it's bad to be right on something like this. My '99's in-dash radio/CD unit has a burned out bulb. It's the bulb that illuminates the '3' and '6' buttons. My dealer -- who do I trust...

There are some comments on various threads about shortening the 6-speed's throw by removing the shift knob, cutting approximately an inch off, threading about an inch of the remaining shaft, and reinstalling the knob. This makes a lot of sense just thinking about the geometry involved. It also...

Positively Correct Remain optimistic and confident in your beliefs. They are founded on substantive, proven, optimistic ideals and confidence in ourselves and the USA. The spoilers -- those politically correct, PC people -- are not enjoying themselves and have little fun. We enjoy life and...

Wishes Merry Christmas and happy holidays to a bunch of good people. And thank you for assisting with my questions and problems. Peter

Power window motor, switch, or contact Is it true that each time the problem is initiated by using the power window? Is it true that not everytime you use the window, but everytime the problems occurs, it follows use of the window? Maybe there is a short, bad contact, or worn insulation on...

Also... but it's not.... I have scratched the underside of the front bumper two or three times. All occurences were during the first year or so of buying my C5. The problem for me was that I was very cautious when parking facing a curb or concrete stop. But sometimes I misjudged how much of...

Thanks. Done. Happy. Thanks to everyone for advice on this subject. It is so subjective that there is no final answer and there will probably be many more threads asking the same questions. Also, there are so many quality systems, it comes down to personal preference. I went with the B&B...

No X pipe I have learned from reliable sources that replacing the stock H pipe with an X pipe has primarily only one effect. It will eliminate some or most popping on deceleration. Since I actually like that effect on deceleration, I am going to keep my stock H pipe... just replace the stock...

Oops Today I listened to Billy Boat's PRT system and discovered it has that deep, solid tone I was looking for. PRT is too loud, but BB's Route 66 version is about 20% louder than stock and allows about 9 HP to the wheels over stock. As of now I am going with BB's Route 66 and using a Bassani...

Last question Here is my last and final question... for now. I am going to buy one of the two Corsa systems with a Corsa X-pipe. Can anyone compare the sound of either Corsa system to our stock mufflers? Can anyone compare the Corsa Touring and the Corsa Indy (Pace car) systems? I prefer a...

Hi mqqn, Thanks for the stock C5 offer, but I want to make an improvement with some after-market system like Corsa's Touring or Indy. But how do I contact MTI? The Z06 is probably the most desirable set up. Thanks.

That sounds great You hit the right note with me when you described the Corsa Touring as sounding like a "small block with sidepipes." I had one of those and still think it was the best sounding Vette I ever owned. Thanks!

About TI Z06 I like the Z06 sound but I thought a Z06 system costs several hundred dollars more than a Corsa system. Thanks for the idea. I will check the pricing tomorrow.

Thank you! Thanks for the good ideas and opinions! Corsa is my choice. Can anyone describe the differences between stock '99 and both Corsa Touring and Pace versions? How much louder is Corsa'a Pace over its Touring? What are the advantages of also installing a Corsa X pipe with my new...

My '99 coupe's mufflers have the rust & corrode problem which causes the neck of the mufflers to rot and eventually break allowing the muffler assembly to hang loose. Also, these original equipment mufflers have peeling black paint that looks bad. I need to replace the old mufflers, but don't...
