08 C6 LS3 STOCK Vs American Racing Longtubes/MagnaFlow Catback Well time FINALLY allowed us to get our shop C6 on a rack to install Phase I of a lengthy list of mods...
Step I- Baseline C6
Step II- Install American Racing 1 7/8 Longtubes/3x3 Catted X pipe/MagnaFlow Catback
Step III- Back on the dyno to see the gains......
Results are below. Remember EVERYTHING else is 100% stock with the exception of the exhaust
The next Phase of mods includes the installation of a VaraRam Induction and then back on the dyno to see the gains with the VaraRam and then doing WOT tuning..
After that, we are going inside the motor... Getting a set of fully worked LS3 heads from TEA and running our Stage III camshaft/Pulley/thermostat...
I will keep everyone updated on the process step by step.
Thanx to Nick @ American Racing for a QUALITY Header System for our C6!!!

Every great intake needs a great exhaust. Nice apples to apples comparison.

I'm interested in the final results. I can't believe how easy it is to make power with the LS3. I guess it only makes sense though...LS3>LS1. I love technology.

I officially hate anyone who buys has an LS3, lol. Man, I'm not crazy about the looks, but that motor is almost reason enough to trade up to a new Camaro when they come out.
Awesome comparision, thanks!
