I'm not sure about Summits brand..honestly though I would look into the DMH. Well known for reliability and they have a great warranty to back them up if anything should happen to it.

I gained just shy of 30 rwhp on mine, but I have a high flow cat right before the exhaust goes over the rear axle, was trying to tame the sound of my Borla down and keep the cutout in front of the cat. This is a S.O.T.P difference for sure.

I just went from lt's with ory and stock catback, to a moroso spiral flow dumped off the ory with my bolt on lt1. Definately feel a difference, and it sounds like sex.

Gained 13 rwhp and 10 rwtq with him on a cammed setup. I did not lose power anywhere on the curve, but it was an auto, so I can't say way down low (under 3000 rpm).

I know a guy that gained a whopping 40hp between closed cutout and open cutout. He has a 6.0 block in his LS1 Trans Am and has a completely stock catback though. He ran 400hp with the cutout closed, 440 with it open.

You're a douchebag! Same dyno, both runs, electric cutout. Read the post before making stupid comments. single cat before the rearend, I'm sure that slows flow. Not everyone would gain that much typically.

Joking champ. Hint the smile face..I was more the less just wanting to see a graph, not calling you a liar.

I thought 30 rwh seemed a little on the high side as well. I don't think some of these young kids realize what these "smiles" mean when someone puts them up. Elliott is far from a douchbag..he has been here for a long while and helped a lot of us out.

That explains the high gain......he has a major restriction in the exhaust now as opposed to the factory set-up......
