My ls6 I have long tubes gutted cats x pipe to basically slp2 mufflers sounds good but my lower torque an power rang is up around 3G. Drove a stock v today an it felt like it had more torque an better take off speed an under 3G. What am i missing why does the stock car feel faster is it cause its quite or it have more back pressure? I noticed in my car I went from straight pipe to bullet mufflers it felt more powerful!!

Less back pressure generally gives less low end power, and more high end power. not sure if you deal with bikes, but it's even more exaggerated on them. You can buy exhausts with removable baffles so you can add or take them away to adjust the torque range.

My 04 V is bone stock and as soon as I bolted on the Long tubes, racing cats, and mufflers I felt the difference. And I haven't even tuned it yet. Try turning off the traction control maybe I dunno. What intake are you running?
by the way I have a bone stock car besides the 1&3/4 inch headers, racing cats, x-pipe, and mufflers from stainless works.
