yea that's too high imo. that's more what u'd get if you added a cam as well

with the longtubes, x pipe, intake and a good tune you should be around the 380-385 rwhp range.

I also like it when the stock system has a bypass

How do you mean 'bypass', like electric cutouts??
Is there really much power from doing cutouts, and if so how much over a system with LT x pipe and stock catback?

Keep the Ti unless you really need more volume. I have a small cam/LTs with cats and it sounds just slightly evil at idle, but the Ti wails at WOT...

If you're going aftermarket catback, I think the best tone is either the GHL or Corsa Xtreme. I also like the exotic-ness of the Corsa titanium system that was produced for a little while...but those are pricey and hard to find.

Check out some video clips on youtube and decide what YOU like. There are too many options out there.

Agree with the Corsa and GHL part. GHL has the BEST muscle sound with a vette. And the Corsa has one of the best exotic pitches.

so longtubes, x-pipe, intake and tune is only good for 30-35whp? that seems low but i may have just seen abnormal results before on my previous vehicles?

yep.. 25-30rwhp is actually a more realistic number, but I have seen up to 35rwhp with some really nice high end headers and a good tuner, so it is possible, but don't expect it

wow that kinda sucks cuz thatd be almost 3k id spend on intake, x-pipe, longtubes and tune and id only need 3k more to just buy a procharger and get 500whp no problem? seems kind of pointless to spend the money on 30whp rather than 150whp?
