OK, how many HP will you gain? The bigger ball bearings always push the car to its limit, a little scary to drive.

Well, without a doubt, he should order a spare, as the Corvette is well known to abuse its muffler bearings. Always good to have a spare on hand when one goes out.......I am surprised that there have been no Flux Capacitor comments yet.....oops, there it is.........
The poor build quality of the '08, as documented so well here is obviously responsible for the quality of these bearings. Perhaps every owner of an '08 would qualify under the lemon law in this case.

Most likely any HP gain be offset by the weight of these.

My favorite are the cross drilled brake lines, you must replace them all at once but you can mix & match colors.
It helps if you install them with a left handed metric screwdriver though.

You'll get more horsepower if you install the O pipe, yes an O pipe, not an X or H pipe.
