For anyone wanting a list of must have performance mods 1. Cold air intake 2. Exhaust (headers/cat back/axleback or a combination of all three 3. Short shifter 4. Tires. Less flashy but more important than wheels. 5. Cooling mods (this can mean a lot of things but C5’s generally have issues staying cooling especially when adding power or on the track)

The only true CAI is a Vararam. The others with the exception of Calloway Honker are “open air” or “free flow” (marketing BS) and on an otherwise stock engine & tune or without long tube headers and free flowing exhaust….an intake is a big fat waste of money. Maybe 3% gains up top but will typically sacrifice that same 3% under the curve. An intake is NOT a good first mod if power improvement is your goal. But they look cool and a monkey can install. Best bang for the buck (other than a Novi or A&A supercharger) 4.10 gears in an MN6 (no tune required) or 3.42’s and 3200 rpm stall converter (trans tune required). Headers will add 18 to 25 rwhp in a modified build (less otherwise stock) but also require a $500+ tune.

Number one, after going through 4 plastic tank radiators and 3 different versions of the lower radiator bracket/skid assembly, was to fab a separate lower radiator support(out of steel) as well as creating mounts for steel casters coming off the front frame horns exiting through the stock skid slits in the bumper cover. Low driveways, parking bumpers and cracked plastic radiator tanks are no longer a problem. Also, definately, install aluminum tank 3 or 4 core radiator. They cool 100% better. Loved my stock polished C-5 wheels, hated runflats, especially the prices in sizes for 17s and 18s. C-6 wheels are better sizing and options. I carry a jack set-up from a C-4 and a space-saver spare from a late model GTO with it's center hole relieved a few thousands. It fits all four corners and the diameter doesn't drop the car very much. It takes up minimal room in the back of the coupe and my targa top still fits on top. C-5 Z06 titanium mufflers are cheap take offs for better sound and tips, but I prefer muffler deletes. Unfortunately California law enforcement doesn't.

Proper headlight housings and Wilwood front calipers & rotor kit are next on the menu. Sorry to everyone else's eyes at night in the meantime but pizza delivery doesn't leave much funding for toys.

Great mods suggestions. Wheel spacers that you chose are the best style. I might go 1/4 thinner to avoid rub. These spacers wear out bearings faster but that’s life. Get a set of someone else C6Z shocks and they’re a great handling mod and they are always available somewhere for decent $ or go with Bilstein replacements they firm up the ride perfectly.

Found a '04 at a local car dealer in town for $15k in Feb, couple months ago. Clean car, fun and fast. Really $15k is kind of cheap on a nice C5; bone stock is what you want. I bought it partly because of your attitude and i think great enjoyment about a still viable american sports car, even today. Enjoy and Zoom.

@@jhs5150 Hey there, I had to pay a local to me shop to take the new 3.73 differential out because there was small crack in the differential casing, but no one saw it until after gear oil was added it leaked bad. But it was way faster off the line from a stop light It was about 4.2 seconds to 60 mph. It was like c6 Z06 terrritory and yes, the car is an AUTO, not sadly. I had to take it out because it was leaking gear oil sooo bad. The 3.73 differential is in storage now. My 2004 C5 has since gotten a cheap stainless cat-back, cheap twin filter intake, and a nice almost new 3.15 differential out of a salvage C5 to take the place of the sadly broken 3.73 differential. HP tuner tuned after that for shift points and engine management. It ticks off some boxes for me.

Great Video. I have extensive background with auto design. I love all of your recommendations except the C6 wheels with spacers. Too much engineering went into making this car great for its day. I would only modify the suspension (and wheels and tires) if I knew I was getting a better car. This mod is purely "you like the look of THESE wheels. I like the look too... but I would not do all that. I would find wheels I love that word WITH the current car's engineering. Love the lights mods... that stuff is underrated. Exhaust... yeah likely but I don't want a loud car at cruising speed... so I would be moderate there. I'm just now looking at the C5 for my first fast car or fun car. I'm looking at basically 01- 02 base manual. That is all I want.

My list 1 Borla exhaust 2 Dynamat rear hatch area - because of Borla Exhaust 3 Double Din touchscreen radio with backup camera 4 racing seats because the C5 power seats suck... and break constantly. --full of plastic parts. 5 chrome CORVETTE lettering on back of car - traditional badging for corvettes ( see C3 corvettes) 6 Headlight upgrades- Big safety issue especially where there are deer around

Dynamat or equivalent is very heavy - I know, I installed it. I would look for some heater duct insulation from Home Depot, etc. A little trick I learned off of Garage Squad.

The problem with wheel spacers is that they add the worst kind of weight to a car- rotational, unsprung mass.

Slap a set of CCW 505A wheels on it. I don't think I've ever seen a nicer set of wheels for the C5. HRE also makes some sick wheels.

I have a 2004 Corvette and need an answer. Pretty sure the computer is screwed and needs to be replaced along with misc. other stuff. (was informed that it may have been a flood car) What is the shop in Hudson or Nashua that did some of your work?

Nice vid Jake. I to have a c5 corvette (2001). It came with corsa exhaust with x pipe. I installed a K&N dual air filter system with a smooth intake collar which clamps to your air flow sensor. They say another god mod is to replace the stock air flow sensor with a bigger inside diameter sensor.I left the sock one in. I like your flat screen radio mod. And your front and rear lights replacements. Thanks for the information to make these mods to my torch red corvette. Be safe and be good.

Wheels are an easy mod. Easy to return to stock for the purist if needed. The headlights are a must. Honestly, I am leaving my old school headlights in my 78 Trans Am simply because I never drive at night, so why bother? I did go with all aluminum snowflake wheels, which woke up the car. The new Year One wheels are awesome. Sorry that my comments are about a different make and model, but I am shopping for a C5 as we speak. I agree with your mods. They do not detract from the originality of the C5. Lights should be bright. Who walks through the woods with old school flashlights during hunting season? Nobody. They use LED all the way.

On mine there's an annoying sound coming from the rear left of the driver position. Sounds like it's close to ear height. It sounds a bit like a bee trapped inside an empty soda can, so at first I thought it was the speaker grill rattling, but no. What could it be? Could it be some sort of electrical buzz?

I got zo6 wheels on mine and they look fantastic I get nothing but complements and they fit with 0 modification I got my headlights from sharper light because of his video 100% recommend with the exeption of the part that links the low and high beams together I had issues with the lights not turning off as well on a really hot day it melted the to wires together and blew both fuses. With out it though they are still fantastic for it being a stock replacement ive had them in for 2 years and they are still going strong

Likewise. I have the chrome C6 Z06 wheels (was hoping to find the gun metal or aluminum finish) with a 3mm spacer in the rear and so far, zero rubbing. They were Plasti dipped black and I ended up stripping them back to the factory chrome finish. Never been a huge chrome fan, but they do look sharp and I get compliments all of the time. Think I'll try going with a matte finish again. 😂
