The Corsa advertisements speak of increased HP and torque. All of the threads that I have read talk about sound etc, but nothing about performance upgrade. Question: is there in fact a true increase and HP and torque? If so, anyone know by how much?

I remember when they first designed the system there was a lot of buzz over on the ZR1 net about them...

They took a VetteDoctors big-inch ZR1 with 3" B&B Triflows and swapped out the exhaust and GAINED 15 RWHP...

Going DOWN in size on the exhaust system...how much of a gain over stock I couldn't tell you.

Mine went on at the same time I did the engine, so I have no comparison numbers.

I had my car dyno'ed before and after the exhuast. As I recall it was about a 16 hp & tq gain. I put together a page that you can view through IE here http://pages.prodigy.net/mstark/dyno_95vette.html.
