Like stieger, I stand corrected.

I was not aware that, during SAE ratings, there was anything connected to the front of the engine. Obviously, if anything attached to the serpentine belt in 2010 was removed in later model years and replaced with a non-hydraulic version (i.e. electric) then it stands to reason that the load on the engine would be reduced and thus increase the total output of the engine at the flywheel.

However, changing from the stock SS exhaust to dual-mode exhaust will not increase the flywheel rating. I imagine there could be a bump in rwhp, but how much remains to be seen considering the Camaro exhaust and the Corvette exhaust are very different setups.
