those are nice exhaust's but if you are looking for more hp dont go the exhaust route. there are better/cheaper ways for hp. intake, header-(depending on which one-could be cheaper) ,pullies

After doing some research, I found that at specific RPM with the CT exhaust installed you actually loose HP (not a good thing) now the sound is another story but it's very hard to improve the TLS already high flow system unless you do some major changes. As far as the intake, you can get the best gains so far with the CT ice box, now headers will do good to (CT of course). And if you have the money well the SC is the way to go.
Do some research and you'll see. Good luck with your mods.

there is a slight difference with the 5k to redline in hp with out my resonators, seems like it pulls harder to redline with out them. the resonators are part of the exhaust system, any muffler shop can cut them out and put a straight pipe in there place. i also have comptech mufflers. by removing the resonators the exhaust will be a little deaper sounding with the factor exhaust also!

if you want extra horsepower and no noise...then exhaust is not the way to go...exhaust is mainly for sound and looks...the gain in hp is nothing you can feel...get the comptech icebox if you want somethign quiet and that will add noticable hp.
