Horah :-) our son just got back from IRAQ, Marines 2nd Recon So this was a great Thanksgiving.

Wish I could do away with Both of my cats on my LT4. Heard it made more HP. To me any Corvette is a Classic

I've told everybody who has asked... I do not know at this point. I'm on my 4th manufacturer now (can't find anybody worth a damn to build something), and I have no pricing info until production is underway. To all on the notification list, when I know, you'll know.

Have them remove your resonator and make a X pipe in it's place. Then replace your stock mufflers with a good HP brand. Check out RacerxCC shop he has Magnaflo and others that will also make more HP. Good Luck

How did you measure your torque gain, SOTP? I would like to see some dyno results. Anyone?

Guess what? No X-Pipe.......but they had the H-Pipe,
and Toyota trucks run very strong.
They do that on short track races, on the longer one they will use the X crossover.

Even though certain States don't require emissions testing, it is still illegal to remove the cats. That's a Federal law, not state mandated.

My 3" x pipe didn't show any gains in SOTP! Maybe 5hp?
