It has a MagnaFlow Performance exhaust but mufflers and midpipe cut. Also has an X pipe. Everything is cut its what i refer to as a CA straight pipe lol.
Any advice on looking at an 03 manual? I already soaked up all the info on the internet so I'm familiar with all the normal stuff on C5 corvettes. But any advice on where to shine my flashlight this weekend?
I would check the harmonic balancer, make sure theres no wobble, might as well check the other pulleys and belt. Go check the battery tray area for signs of battery acid leaking (since all harnesses are below the battery tray you dont want battery acid getting down there and messing up electronics), I would check for rust if youre in a area where rust is common. Other than that I would say to check your general things like fluid leaks and checking the fluid levels. For me checking fluid levels can be a possible sign that the car hasnt been maintained well if the levels are low. I would also test drive the car and get a feel for the transmission. If its a unmodified manual, expect it to be pretty notchy but it shouldnt grind or pop or make much noise, make sure it goes into the gears nicely. Just make sure to get it all the way in if its a stock box. Get a feel for it while you hold the clutch pedal down. Thats about all i can think of atm. Hope this helps. 🤝
I have a 2000 C5 sickspeed. I had it checked out buy a trusted mechanic and I was lucky the two previous owners took very good care of it I drive it all the time it's stock except for a borla Cat-Back enjoy your ride they are meant to be driven!
No not really, but in 2001 they fixed a issue with the torque tube I believe. dont quote me on that but it was a big enough change for me to get a 2001 instead of older
Look up “C5 corvette buyers guide” on youtube and watch as many as you can. They all go into depth about the things that were changed. In short though, yes 2001-2004 will be the best years and usually the least “problematic”.
the issue with C5s from early years, 97-00 is usually the EBCM failing and not being serviceable (lose traction control and ABS, not that you really need those things), however I own a 97 and it has over 130,000 miles and works perfectly still knock on wood.
I just bought a c5 Z06 last week, love the videos man. Keep posting them!
Niiicceee. I was originally looking at those or LS3 C6 GS in a manual. Couldn’t pass up on the deal I got tho.
I love the aftermarket steering wheel
Thank you. Its a huge upgrade over stock forsure.
Cleanest Vette out there 🤙
Haha thanks bro, its definitely one of the most mint forsure 🫡
Wow what a beautiful machine
Thank you. I enjoy every second of it. Its like a go kart but with 350hp 😂

@@yisyerry thanks. Yeah I've driven manuals as daily drivers for over a decade so I'll know straight away if it's messed up

Hi I'm looking to get a c5 and i was told i should get one that's from 2001 or newer, is something wrong with the earlier ones?
No not really, but in 2001 they fixed a issue with the torque tube I believe. dont quote me on that but it was a big enough change for me to get a 2001 instead of older

Is this a steering wheel from a Corvette C6?
No, its the original Steering Wheel.
C6 have a 3 Spoke Wheel, C5 have a 4 Spoke Wheel.
Sorry I didn’t get a notification for your comment but I’m pretty sure it’s the original style C5 wheel. Just aftermarket.
