Default Is this hurting my set-up?

I am running a 98 SS Camaro with a set of ported heads, Thunder Racing 224 cam, Macs and ORP through a stock Single outlet exhaust. I love the tone but am nervous that I may be giving up some power. Anybody know the quality of this particular exhaust system. If possible I would like to keep the Single outlet exhaust just because you do not see many of them. Any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated

You have the stock 98 SS single cannon? My first LS1 was an SS with that exhaust.

The biggest problem is the fact that the piping is 2.75" in diameter...

Hey is this Dan?? I have heard that the 98 single exhaust is quite restrictive. I know its rare, but I really don't like the look of it. It looks too much like a "fart pipe" If you want something quiet go with the SLP dual-dual. I wouldn't trade my loudmouth for anything right now!

Hey Nick! You know the saying, one mans junk is another mans treasure! I like the loudmouth, but with an ORP like I have I think it may be to loud. I had heard that the single outlet cannon on the 98 SS was one of the "better" flowing stock systems. Depending on the responses I may run a cut out, or explore some other options. And hey quit pickin on my Fart Pipe!

ttt... I'd like to hear a heads and cam ls1 with a cut out... go for it! It would be a lot cheaper than a new catback, and you'd gain more at the track as well.
