Don't the C8s have short tube headers stock?

I guess my thoughts are that all of the power gains came from the Cats because isn't that pretty close to what LMR got from just a Cat swap?

Dyno shows exactly how a CAM would wake up the car as well. Nice install!

More like mid-length. Yes the bulk of the power is the cats.

You use a spark plug fouler and it should be far enough away to not throw a cel
