Default Let's talk catbacks.
Seems to me the stock exhaust on the 5th Gen flows pretty well. At least on the Ls3 cars. What did you pick up over stock with the addition of an aftermarket exhaust and what brand did you go with.

None, but the TSP catback sounds great! (uses magnaflow mufflers). Catbacks wont gain any HP, but they sure add sound

I can see that. Looking at all the manufacturers websites they all report modest gains that would all seem to come from lower restriction mufflers. I have the GMPP axle back on my car and I love the way it sounds.
