Yes, it is for real, I'm getting HEADers next week. This is what I'm having done on Tuesday.
BTW: My current Vette is a 2010 Grand Sport A6 NPP with a bunch of cosmetic stuff and complete stereo upgrade already done.
LG longtubes
LG x-pipe
LG high-flow performance cats
LG 3" collectors
O2 extensions
MSD wires / NGK spark plugs
160' thermostat
Professional complete dyno tune (both engine and A6)
Total cost for parts, installation, tune and dyno: $2,500
It should take a full day to complete the work.
Not only will I see about a 50hp & 35tq increase, but the C6 will drive more smoothly and crisp. Initially I as going to just do the tune for me, but my hubby wanted a bit more uumph. With these mods, the Vette should still be reliable as a daily driver.
The tuner is rather renowned in my area for his work on GM LS engines. He not only daily drives a C6, but races them as well. Over 1,000 customer vehicles have been modified by him with great results, including supercharges and turbo kits.
I'll post pics next week, after the work is done.
