Mods for the C7????

Looking to do some bolt ons to the C7, but it don't look like there are a lot of options out there.

Cold Air Intake - What do most of you like to run? I know there are debates on this, I deal with it on my ZL1, but usually there is one that a majority of people seem to go with.

Ported Throttle Body - Haven't seen any as of yet....

Headers - 2", 1 7/8" or 1 3/4"? What seems to work the best?

Honestly, the wife loves the sound of the car right now and the fact that she can switch out the sounds is really cool. She don't want to void the Warranty (a whole other topic of discussion), what are the best mods to be done to a C7 without having to put a tune on the car?

Go for some cosmetics? A front chin spoiler changes the whole look of the car. Hollar for a deal for a lashway one, brand new.

James what are your goals for your C7 and what kind of driving will you be doing?

For my C7, since I will be tracking the car, it's going to be a Magnuson Heartbeat SC, Halltech CF air filter, stage 1 cam, and probably pulley upgrades as well. Of course mine will be requiring a tune.

I forgot to mention Kooks 2" LTH.

Cai can't go wrong with halltech!! Also I know late model racecraft just released a new one as well and looks very nice!!

For Ported throttle body weaponx offers one.

Headers go with 1 7/8 unless your goal is 1000+rwhp then go with 2.... Arh, kooks and tsp are all good here... If you don't want risk of voiding warranty arh also makes a set of mid lengths...

I too am looking to get some headers and a tune when I get back from Afghanistan. I have the AFe intake and with LTHs, catted x-pipe, and a tune I was wondering what my gains should be aprox? I have a 2015 Z51 C7 auto.

Cold Air Intakes are a great first mod.

Would changing the cold air intake void the C7's warranty?
