It depends a lot on which mods. you have. On a stock C5 I have heard of as much as 15 RWHP to as little as 5 RWHP, on a heads and cam car there will be greater gains. Most of the guys run TPIS long tube headers. :cheers:

DO a search on headers and you'll find tons of info. I am having my car tuned today after my header install weeks ago. I will reort my findings. I went with stainlessworks headers on mine. SO far I love them but plan a full report.

I am running the Ceramic TPIS Long tubes. I have torture tested these things in high heat for days and have had no problems with them. Good price, good product. :)
