Do you notice much of a difference when you use or add gas?

Did some research. The Corsa Sports weigh 3.5lb per side total than stock. 7lbs. And I've read a review from "Vette" magazine, June 2005. Apparently, the system is good for about 13RWHP as tested by MTI racing on a stock Z-51 coupe. I believe Lingenfelter testing also confirmed this.

Question here...
If you added a Corsa X-Pipe to the Corsa Sports, leaving the OEM cats and exhaust manifolds on, could that actually make the car "feel" slower than when it had the H-Pipe(oem) on? I know they are used with headers but can the X-Pipe have a negative effect on the "power" feel and actually reduce torque causing the car to "feel" slower than before at WOT?

I know when I put them on, they felt like they were much more than the stockers. I read somewhere that the difference was about 15 lbs.
That is why I said about 3 gallons of gas. In plain English not a big deal for MOST drivers out there. The major difference which I like is the "no drone".
