Check out my post here about the test done by Corvette Fever: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=794809

What makes people think you can even gain 15HP with just a muffler change is beyond me. :crazy:


In the test the most they got was 12HP with a Power Effects 2 3/4 inch cat back. The PE mufflers/capsules are completely straight thru design. You open the flap and you can see all the way into the Y-pipe.

It is all relevant to existing mods. I pulled my corsa and now have flowmaster. When I put in blown engine next month I will get rid of flowmaster and go custom.

Then can we assume that muffler eliminators would give you the same result as the Power Effects with the flap open all the way?

On an LT4? Yup, it should be the same. But it sure won't sound the same, which is neither good or bad. Muff Elim's are not for me.
Though I'm not sure how much HP increase if any the PE resonator gives you.
