How much is this Hooker costing me?

My car is a typical heads & cam (Patriot "LS6 style" & TSP 231/237) bolt-on car that has FLP's, no cats, and a Hooker catback.

How much power is it leaving on the table compared to true duals?

While not being completely familiar with the Hooker, but thinking it should be comparable to the stock WS6 exhaust, I've dyno tested straight exhaust against the WS6 (and SS Dual/Dual) and you're talking less than
7 RWHP......and even less torque

The only suggestion I could offer would be to install a cut-out - - if you really want that extra little but not as an all the time thing.

Free clinic it! so nothing

I wouldnt asume you are losing a ton but a noticable amount, the hooker catback is pretty well made.

Hey chuck, fancy seeing you on here!

I'm going with duals once I get my pacesetters installed, but then again i'm all stock up front. SvA wouldn't like you anymore though.

My QTEC was worth 4rwhp @ 5rwtq over my previous Corsa muffler. There was no noticeable SOP power difference between open and closed. After the Hooker was installed it felt the same open vs closed so I would venture to say it flows pretty good and you leaving less than 10rwhp on the table.
