Yeah, thank you Beauwulf, I'd be interested to see how that works out. I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble because I know there was a lot of excitement with the big gains that came from adding bolt-ons to the Caddy, but the same gains simply never seemed to pan out as well for the Camaro, likely due to more aggressive piping/better breathing direct from the factory. A quick search found this thread which seen to confirm the lower numbers

The Corsa cat-back gave the CTS about 18 RWHP, but the Camaro version only gave 6! I don't think anyone has seen another 13 RWHP from ANY cai on the Camaro, either. So what gives? Why did the CTS get big gains and the Camaro not so much?

I'm hoping the V6 guys are getting decent numbers, I just would find it awfully hard to believe they are doing 0-60 in under 5 with just I/E, especially after doing just some minor research. I also would not put too much faith into that foolish gadget either, though I'm interested in knowing how the V6 has done at the track so far and that would be a better gauge.
