where are you going to get a tri-y?

btw power and sound are all very close and within margin of error.

you are saying they are very close because you are pulling from data/experience?

experience with corvettes for about 10 years, building my own, tuning mine and other people's, watching builds and dynos on this website, etc.

if you are asking if I have installed and dyno tested several different options on one car in similar conditions then, no.

I agree with Higgs there probably isn't going to be much difference in sound from tri y to 4 in 1. Other things like cats or no cats, which muffler, and especially camshaft are going to effect the sound. You can go on you tube and search for C7 headers to hear some. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=c7+headers

I've got ARH 1 7/8" long tubes with cats and stock NPP and a stage 1 cam and get lot's of complements on the sound. I like to leave it in tour mode so it's not too loud until I romp it and then it's like setting off fireworks.

Are you throwing a CEL with that setup?
