Maybe 3-4 ponies. While it's off the car I'd do the Ti mod to it....

With cutouts open it only made 5 RWHP/4 RWTQ more than with cutouts closed. That alone tells you how well they flow so you will definitely gain power over the stock LS1 mufflers. Most Z06 guys swap them out simply due to wanting a louder exhaust. I think it sounds perfect with LT's and no cats.

It's pretty tame until you got WOT. I haven't heard the Ti mod but I'm sure it makes it a good bit louder. You just have to find someone to weld titanium.

blah blah blah...who cares about cutouts? they really dont add much. I have cut outs, TI's with the mod....3-4 HP means nothing.

the stock Ti mufflers flow very well...

I didn't lose any power when I switched out my B&B bullets for the stock Ti's mufflers.

I have longtubes random tech cat and a modded ti catback and it sound awesome. It doesnt have the drone in the cab while cruising like other aftermarket exhausts, but when you get on the gas sounds great. For the price you cant beat the sound and performance.

As for VGLNTE1... only loosing 3-5 hp from straight exhaust to the ti is pretty good if you ask me. The ti flows just as well as most aftermarkes and is much lighter (about 13lbs per side)
