I got my first winter mods completed last weekend. First, I installed the elite engineering catch can. It fit perfectly where the AIR equipment used to be. Even used one of the bolts from the assembly.

I also installed a X940BT. Works great, however, I forgot to install the mic. I told myself I would install it if I ever got a flashing SYS, but that hasn't happened so...
At first I tried to tie into the original speakers and amps, but I was getting a hiss and pop when powering off, so I took out the amps and installed new speakers using the original wiring. Sounds great now.

Finally, I got a SW x-pipe installed in place of a gen 1 B&B resonator, and installed Z06 tips and actuators. Sounds even better now with the new tips when the valves are open, and when closed, I can actually hear myself think.

Next up Is C6 Z06 brakes to go along with my wheels.

Too late but FYI - ground loop isolators would have solved popping noise while powering off.:cheers:

Thanks for the info. I thought there might be a way to fix it, but the new speakers probably sound better anyway.

I have some OEM competition gray C6 Z06 wheels on it. Gotta fill them up with bigger brakes.
