A little power and a more refined exhaust note with less popping. :)

Well, I wanted to reduce popping and make my car growl a little more low in the RPMs (reduce the LS1 motorboat sound) and maybe pick up some horsepower along the way.............and that is exactly what the Magnaflow x-pipe did for me!

:cheers:

You won't pick up any significant horsepower but if you like the sound with it, go for it.
