Default Flowmaster adding 70hp?

This guy claims in his paragraph description of his car that his flowmaster exhaust gave him 70HP!?

Am I wrong or is that :bs

believe it or not, it is *Possible. Possible is the key. For example, if you had a c5R 427 motor with a supercharger on top, it wud giv eyou in excess of 600 hp. Now lets say you installed l98 corvette exhausts on them. going from that to a flowmaster will probabbly free up over 200 !! :lol:

but thats being extreme. 70hp is like midamericas claim on the zr1 for flowmasters i believe. take what magazines say, divide by 4

:bs .... I dont think that it is an anniversary edition either. If it was he wouldnt have painted it 25 ann. purple :crazy: or updated the sides to 96 pieces but you never know we would have to see the vin # to be sure. Plus it doesnt have the silver badges or the 40th badges on the hood. It does have the 40th in the seat backs but all 93's had this. Its the only thing on mine that says it was built in the 40th year of corvette history.

Probably more like 10-15 HP. But hey, every little bit helps. I wish I got 70 more HP from my Flows. I would be over 300 HP on an L98 w/just that one Mod. hehe
