I gutted mine out and the sound is improved at part to WOT. Might have gained a few BHP. They only work when the car is cold so it should not effect you emissions testing at all. My car has a bit more burrble when letting off the gas, another guys car we did it to does not have the burrble.

How did you gut them?
take the entire intermediate pipe out.....take a crow bar or the like.....a hammer and BEAT the guts out of them....be sure they are tipped upside down so the sHeeot that ya knock out falls out and doesnt clog up the big cats that are down stream of the pups

I did it on my Z06 after teh h/c install....i already had B&B shorties....I would guess it may add 3 to 5 rwhp on a stock car.....free tho :yesnod:

hope that helps
