Thread: Should I buy a C4 Corvette?

Thanks Nuckin, I forgot that I've seen people use those Magnaflow cross sections. Any other advice on the exhaust? What diameter are those stock pipes, 2.75"?
On the brakes, is the J55 considered the "better" brakes for the C4's? Would a dual piston LS1 or C5 be a step up or just sideways?
B&M, excellent, same brand I have for my T56 and 4L80e. I'll see if the base plate is blue like the T56 one I've got.1994 Z28 383ci - Jake's 4L80 - Moser 9" [LE2 heads and LE cam - 121mph @5500DA]

Shifter pics.
As far as the brakes go, You won't notice the difference bewteen the J55 and the C5, for the money unless you open track the car. Just ditch them drilled rotors, get a set of slotted and a good set of pads. Yes J55 is the best brake factory offered on a C4.
I don't remember the stock exhaust pipe size, but they're lot of good and cheaper X's besides Magnaflow. I have a Pypes X and racepro's for my 95.
You have my Number, if you need anything.

Oh yea, with the flat sides on that shifter it's gotta be the B&M. Good hookup with the pictures.
Sounds like I'll just sell those 98-02 brakes for the fbody and invest it somewhere else.
I'll start looking around for xpipes.
I run Hawk HPS on my 1994 car, those have a good reputation for J55?
Thanks again Nuckin.1994 Z28 383ci - Jake's 4L80 - Moser 9" [LE2 heads and LE cam - 121mph @5500DA]

$40 in pretty well priced. That with some straight pipe and a little bit of cutting... Might wait till the Hookers go in though, do it all at once.
What tips do you guys have your Corvettes? I think I might go stock rectangular. I've got stock rectangular Z28 tips in the garage but they are offset and won't work.1994 Z28 383ci - Jake's 4L80 - Moser 9" [LE2 heads and LE cam - 121mph @5500DA]

I like the stock tips. Good thing about your tips, I bet they would be an easy trade for stock.

Knocked out a few things today:
Made Vette ramps for my rhino ramps, oil Change, coolant swap, found a broken coolant temp sensor [passenger head], checked ZF6 fluid level, checked Dana44 fluid level, found out I'm missing the coolant overflow tank cap and measured the pipe, length, and width of this party crashing resonator.
Since the purchase is complete and the modding is about to begin, I think it's time for a new thread. Thanks to everyone for the help, I'll see you fellas over there...1994 Z28 383ci - Jake's 4L80 - Moser 9" [LE2 heads and LE cam - 121mph @5500DA]
