Actually, in stock form, and being a M6, most any LS1, regardless of year, are more than capable of 350fwhp....rwhp however is HIGHLY unlikely!

its not rwhp buddy...the LS1 motor if any1 actually knows is the same thats in the vette...DUH GM underrated these cars 350 FLYWHEEL HORSEPOWER and 365 FLYWHEEL FOOT LBS OF TORQUE....GM did this only to make it seem that the vette would be untouchable or atleast that people would buy a vette for more money and the same power just unknowing of the actual motor...325 fwhp and 350 fwtq is actually not to far from some REAR WHEEL hp numbers and tq numbers on here especially with 6 speeds....thats just so you kno

same motor, underrated, thats it really

oh and he donyt have ramair package unless he did free ram air mod otherwise yeah as stated above

It's all good man. We were all noobies at one time. Hell, i know i've made mistakes modding my car. Not that the loudmouth isnt good, just too loud if you ever go to headers! You'll love it on a stock manifold car. It's definately better than the stocker.

Words of advice......wanna have the ultimate exhaust?
LT's and a True dual kit(like TSP's kit)

That's what i'd be saving my duckies for!

ill keep that in mind..but im guessin this Loudmouth will stay on my car til im moved out and the cars paid off...this was just something to ease my apetite..ive went a year and 2 months..with no mods..i had to get something..and i went for something cheap..that would give me a gain..

Get a TSP lid, and get your free mods done....there's plenty of power to be gained from there....that along with your new catback should REALLY wake your TA up!
