Funny they said right off the bat it was 405hp. Even at the wheels it is more than that. I love the setup though. Our fabricator at S&R Performance has said he wants to do that type of setup on my car but I think I will wait awhile.

It looks like the mufflers are eliminated when the turbo system is installed.
Is that right Rich ?????? Does your C5Z still have the mufflers, or are they G-O-N-E ?

That is exactly it. Two exhaust tips come right off the turbine side of the turbos and the other two pipes come off the wastegates. No mufflers. The turbos quite it down a lot.
With the LS6, I was getting around 530hp at the rear wheels. But I was using smaller turbo housings to get the spool up quicker. I don't know what results I will be getting with the new 427 engine and larger turbo housings that are now on it. Hopefully I'll find out next week.
Just for reference, if you want to get an idea of what that exhaust system sounds like INSIDE of the car, the first part of this video will give you a taste of that...
