'05 Vette build thread

[bonecrrusher]

Not much of an update around here - went to the Fall Autofair event here at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Saw some cool stuff - including a new C7 - about time I saw that car!

One of the vendors selling parts at the show was Kooks Long Tube Headers - they are pretty well known in the Vette community.

They had a 30% discount on there long tubes/X-pipes if you bought them at the show.

After thinking about it for a night - I went back to there trailer on Sunday and decided to buy a set.

Unfortunately they didn't have a set on there trailer - but that didn't bother me. They are based here in Statesville NC which is about 40 mins north of Charlotte. So on Tuesday this week - they called me back and said they had a set in stock - so I headed up there after work.

There shop is bigger then I thought it would be - I didn't really get a chance to get to tour there shop - but I know they are working on a set of Long Tubes for the new C7 - they where supposed to get it in this week. That car should be done for SEMA in a few weeks.

I really wasn't in the market for a set of these - but with the discount they gave me - I saved almost $500 off there list price. Plus this will help me with my power goals when I tear into the LS2 this fall/winter.

These are stainless steel, American made - and most importantly they are a local business - so I am more then happy with this purchase.







You wont see me online for a few weeks as I fly across the pond for a well deserved vacation - so if I don't reply here - track my shenanigans on FB.

Thanks.
