Man everything is with NPP so far. I wanna see these same cars without NPP to see if it is really making a difference. I think the NPP is a waste of $1200 when the aftermarket has so many better options for that or less dough. But if the NPP is truely giving the car like 10-15 rwhp then maybe the engineering is right??????

Among the few automatics that have been dyno'd there was one with NPP and one without, they were within only 1rwhp of each other...but again, different cars/different dynos and such so there are other variables/factors involved of course.

Listen to the NPP before you assume it's garbage. I'm extremely happy with mine, regardless of the power increase. 6hp on a 430hp car is nothing anyway, you'll gain or loose more than that based on the weather conditions.

Oh I agree that any benefits from a cat back are small regardless of factory or aftermarket. However if the corvette sounds anything like the 2007 vette does when the flaps are closed then im sure it is basically non existant. I don't want to have to be at 50-80% throttle before I hear my $1295 I guess.
Just my opinion thats all. I do in fact need to hear it in person. I have seen videos of it and wasn't all that impressed for the price tag. From what I understand it isn't stainless steel either correct? That is the other issue. Bolra for example is about the same $ but will never rust on me

When the first ls3 dyno post LG did with the M6, it was knocking out 385rwhp and now we got some here producing over 395rwhp. That is a big horsepower difference so I am asking here what is the difference. More miles or was the more powerful cars run harder from the get go????

If I were going for an 08, the NPP would definitely be ordered simply because it is the best of both worlds - stock when cruising (no drone, even with headers), and serious muscle when you stand on it (much like Magnaflow actually). Plus the 3.5" tips really look good
I liked the NPP concept so much I added these mufflers to my 07 C6. Best mod since headers.

different cars on different dynos of course. Automatics seem to have been somewhat consistent at around 370-371rwhp.

I am blown away.
The LS3s are for real.
Even if a strong LS2 does 355rwhp SAE, 40rwhp is certainly more than 36 flywheel horsepower.
From what I can tell, it seems the LS3 is around 450hp at the flywheel.
I can't wait to see some track times, especially the trap speeds.
