WHAT THE FUCK are we all bench racing a v6 camero exhaust system?

Bring it to albany speed. Make a pass on the dyno get a baseline. take 5 minutes and cut the muffler off at the cat and run it again, open dump. Find out for real what it does.

then put on your new exhaust and dyno it again.

I bet it doesnt make more than 3-5whp more.
