I have a set- ceramic coated, very high quality. Cons are obvious- less power then LTs, very expensive. I was looking to keep my exhaust as quiet as possible and also to be able to slide through the visual. So far so good.

Bassani makes AMAZING products, I had a bassani quiet thunder cat-back on my '03 GT and the craftsmanship was just beautiful, they are big with the mustang guys but they make great stuff so I would bet the LS1 parts are also top knotch, def up there with kooks, american racing, etc......

Unless I am looking this wrong along with the 10 hp gain there was almost a loss of 30 ft lbs of torque also.

yep, you are looking at it wrong. you only looked at the peak numbers and didn't look at the graph itself. you didn't see the torque spike at the beginning of the before run. take that out and look at the rest of it. there is a torque gain across the board.

Thanks for pointing that out and pardon my lack of attention to detail. I see the spike that you are talking about.
