Not funny ******. Instead of adding fuel to the fire, why dont you post something useful and not "use the search" crap. Ever occur to you that SOMETIMES it just doesnt come up? Goddamn rookies and ur lame comments.

Now, back on topic;

You can look to gain 15-30hp as said, but its going to depend heavily on your catback choice or if you're using TD's or a cutout. I would suggest since you're getting headers that you also either swap the muffler in your catback or get yourself a cut out. They're only 30 bucks or so and you can have it welded in for like another 30 bucks. To see the full potential of what you can gain, you're going to want a tune because LT's love to make the car run rich.

LOL I wasn't talking to you at all heh. I was talking to kenkaru, he likes to start **** in threads thinking he's superior and then throws around the search button garbage like he's JRP or something.

Thank you for a educated response. Yeah If he would have read the first post carefully I stated I did a search and nothing came up. The flowmaster catback is already on the car, it wasnt my choice, but its there so Im gonna use it. I had already planned a cutout and the tune. Thanks again.

Right on man, glad I could provide some assistance. Good thinking on the tune/cutout

Please show me the last time I flamed someone to use the search button.
and the only reason I made an assholish comment was because of the OP's calling that guy a douchebag when he was making a joke.
...and calling people "rookies" isn't of a superior attitude.

I did a before and after dyno and with LT X pipe with spiral flow bullets I gained 25HP and 19FP's! I also gained close to SIX miles to the gallon!!!!!!! On the highway that is! Those numbers were without a tune.

i dont see how you gained 6 mpg when headers make ls1's run rich. usually you wont gain mileage till after a tune, from what i have read.

Jeeeeebus H Rice this thread sucks.

20-30rwhp with a nice full exhaust setup and tuning.

Dangerously flirting with lockdown on this one.

What's crawed up your *** and died? Give WhiteKnight a break, he obviously didn't realize you were such a stiff, boring character that can't take a joke. You automatically start insulting his track times when he said NOTHING negative about you!
