Default What gains if any?

What gains in HP could I expect going from stock exhaust to the 02 Zo6 exhaust? Would like to hear from those who have done this mod. Thanks

I think it flows a little bit better, the advantage is the weight savings due to titanium construction.

Assuming the rest of the engine is stock, I don't think you could measure any difference reliably. IOW, any variance you might see on a dyno is probably in the noise of making consecutive runs on the same setup.

HTH, and have a good one,
Mike

:withstupid:
jsut the exhaust alone, your looking at less than 7 H.P. Thats .02%

If you add an intake and an X pipe, you may gain 10-15P, thats .03-.05%

I don't think you meant to put the .xx% numbers in, but rather x%. Tough to put down 35000 hp! ;)

Have a good one,
Mike
