That pic of the chassis in the pdf is like 8 months old or older. Looks like they are just re-using it not realizing how closely we study this stuff

(don't do that... I am a bad influence...)

Actually that would not work cause they are not corroded yet.

I like the way you think......

Hammerite has crushed glass and resin. It seals metals even over rust to stop the oxidation process.

thanks great to know !

first thing im going to do is, swap out the muffler with a flowmaster super 44..

You guys might want to consider doing headers instead.

I am willing to bet that, like the C5/C6, headers will give you the sound you are looking from a catback, with the addition of 30 hp to the wheels that you will NOT get from a catback.
Just a suggestion.

FYI: Kooks and American racing seem to be the best performing headers in the C5/C6 crowd and there is a ongoing group purchase for headers right now.

my friend only gained ~12-14 rwhp with a set of long tubes on his C6

30 rwhp is way optimistic, maybe longtubes + tune.

Sorry to hear that, friend.:(
Something is not right there.:(

What long tube header is he running?

A good long tube header (Kooks, American racing) is good for 30 rwhp. More on a LS3.
You might need a dyno tune to get every HP, but headers and a dyno tune should be done together in my opinion. A PROFESSIONAL dyno tune will yield power and improved MPG.

its also a good idea because you will need that tune to pass inspection

those are great headers but LG motorsports pro long tube have been proven better but not really by much so just get which ever you perfer or can afford

From what I've seen ARH has higher HP and LG provides better low-end torque, but when do you use low-end torque outside of first gear? Granted, I belive in having a broad torque curve over a peaky one, but under 3000rpms its useless once you're out of first gear.

For the money I think a LT header kit is the way to go. The cat-back exhuast kits I've seen are riduclously priced, they are equal to some LT header kits. I'd rather have stock mufflers, LT headers, x-pipe, high flow cats, and +30rwhp over stock manifolds and stock cats, x-pipe, nice mufflers, and 12rwhp.
