Heavy clutch with touchy engagment, way too loud, smelled like gas, some cam surge. I realize I made the car the way it was.

Fast-forward, now I've got a 2017 SS automatic nnp exhaust mostly stock (cold air intake and a tune) but am getting the urge to modify it.

What route do I take to not hurt the drivability of the car?
Can I add headers and leave the rest of exhaust alone and keep it quieter?
Should I just save my money and add a supercharger in the future?
Leave it alone and enjoy it? ha

Thanks for reading my ramblings!

You can add headers and leave the rest of the exhaust alone if you want.

Add E85 and a tune for a little more power and much better performance in hot weather.

Buy a supercharger when you’re ready to have some fun.

I have 2" ARH headers and no cats... however, I installed the Magnaflow Resonated X-pipe in my mid-pipes just before the eLSD and kept the NPP Exhaust. With the valves closed, its st00pid how quiet this car is... kinda freaky as its funny cruising through the paddock at the track like you're Jekyll and then on the track unleashing pure Hyde Fury! Watch this video and you will see cruising its so pleasant, your neighbors will love you... but on the track she's a mean beyotch! I am also working with AWE to bring a new system that uses their outstanding quality and wide open sounds with civility!

This link below skips to the 16min mark when I take my nephew for a ride during a session to chase down a BMW M3 with an LS3 swap and a C5 Z06 like Jeni's that has an LS7 N/A build.
Click to see the Exhaust sound difference between closed NPP and WOT at the track!

‘17 SS will be the 8L90 for the auto transmission.
