No.

The base exhausts are different. The stock Camaro exhaust flows VERY well. Non-NPP C6s are virtually silent.

Maybe 10 HP at best to freewheel the A/C and run the alternator, water pump, and steering. Please cite a source to back up these claims.
This 2013 exhaust is bound to produce more peak horsepower, how little is to be seen on dyno, probably not felt in stock form. This system will probably respond better to aftermarket headers compared to the regular exhaust.

Most of those are pumps. The faster you spin a pump, the more resistance it is going to give you because you are trying to force more fluid through the same space, and we all know fluids don't like to compress. You may be able to spin a water pump with your hand, but try spinning it as fast as it spins at 6500rpm.
