| Radar- Just sent a PM back, thanks!
bigfatbulldog- Yes, there is a slight power increase (10-20hp depending on the dyno). Backpressure is cut down increasing the efficiency of the engine. Mileage increases are minimal (.5-1.5 mpg) with this mod alone though. The sound is definately impoved.
K9Duramax- Yes, do you want a tip with it?

| have you seen an actual dyno to see power increase, because i dont believe an exhaust alone will do anything, it with fueling and more air will show increase. But i dont believe it alone is worth to buy for power only. Sound and better engine efficency yes.

| Anything that increases the engine's efficiency results in more power. The motor isnt making any more power, but with more efficiency, the tires see more power. Drivetrain loss is a killer, as is intake and exhaust restriction. |

| Yes, I have seen several dyno sheets with the results. An exhaust alone on an LB7 is NOT a good source of power, but it definately will cool down your EGTs and improve the efficiency of your engine.

| and with lower EGT temps, you can run a higher level on your programmer (assuming your trans can take the power increase). |
