A local CTS-V owner wanted more power but refused to go to headers on that car, as he wanted a nice DD, and not a hot-rod (i.e. didn't want to put up with burnt wires, gasket leaks, etc.) Regardless of his motives, he had his stock manifolds extrude honed, and gained about 10 rwhp, eh then coupled that with a nice set of Random Tech high flow cats, and gained about another 10. OEM quality, with none of the header issues. He only gained about half what he would have from headers, and spent about the same price-wise.
I have kooks headers + highflow cats + corsa cat back on my car, and at WOT is is hella loud. At low RPM, I set off car alarms in the parking garage at work.
Food for thought.
