The best way to give your car a treat after 6 years?

Thought I'd share the news that I finally have taken the leap and am having a new front-to-back system put on the C6! I also realized that I purchased the car 6 years ago today, so figured it's a fitting present for her. Gone with a fully Billy Boat system with Fusion 4 1/2 Oval mufflers at the back, with x-pipe & headers. Hopefully the valves will keep the noise to a decent level when I don't want to wake the neighbours, but will raise hell when opened!

Interesting that you can buy a good quality C6 for the price of a GT86 at the moment, and the new full Cosworth upgrades to take the car to 280hp costs close to 9k (without labour). Imagine what you could do with some of the C6s in the adds at the moment with close to 10k for add-ons. Still one of the best value sports (super) cars out there today.

Will try and get a video done of the final result when it's fitted over the next few days.

For those of you who have done this already - is any tuning needed afterwards? Been advised not, but any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thought people might like to see the finished result of the new Billy Boat system on the C6. Quick drive this morning and it sounds amazing! Having the butterfly valves helps keep the volume in check when needed, which is useful. Minimal drone at cruising speed as well. Happy days all round. Thanks to the guys at Ian Goss for the installation (and 3 working photos!).

Think I'll be pausing on further mods for the time being, but the induction kit is a probably next step. Already have new long-tube headers so she's pretty set front to back now. Had a blast up to Norfolk and back this weekend for a wedding and had a lot of fun - definitely nice having the option to tone the noise down, especially at cruising speeds.

Also, parked next a nice example of a C4 (D-reg) at a pub called 'The Pigs' nr Holt on Sunday, so hello if you're on here at all. Good to see such a nice example out and about.
