Let say that the flowmaster is restrictive for an LS1. Exhausts are all about CFM. If I put the best Fbody exhaust system on the market on a diesel truck it would be a choke point. So if a Flowmaster chokes a LS1 that does not mean it will choke a 3.8. Restrictive is relative.

That being said I can accept the fact that the exhaust can gain you 11 HP. In the LS world 11HP is not much but in the V6 world that is a 7% increase in power. I can see .2 with that.

Buffalo, why do you come to the V6 forum? You know nothing about them. You do not have one and you have no interest in them. If you are worried someone might think the V6 is as good as a v8 don’t, we got this.
