I have a 2000 camaro ss 6 speed. I'm putting on pacesetter longtube headers and magnaflow mufflers. It is going to be a true dual set up w/o converters. What kind of horse power gains am I looking at?

On a dyno maybe not much... ~25hp... but you will definitely feel the difference when you hit the pedal.Quote:

16-20 @ the wheels!!
The car is going to be loud as hel#! I hope you like a VERY loud car. Trust me, it is annoying. I have the pacesetter headers with no cats and a stock muffler, and it is louder than loud! Just a heads up.
Ditto, I hate the sound of my car with the pacesetters and no cats. Way too loud. Just a heads up. I am thinking about selling my car it is so loud.
I am going to add the same but with an slp air intahe kit. what would that get to hp range?
i appreciate all the information. I can't wait to get this done. Hopefully next Monday.
are you using the magnaflow bullets? im about to put them on my car, i heard they are actually pretty quiet for a TD set up... Post up some sound clips
wow you must have real sensitive ears dude! I have lt's no cats and a magnaflow muffler. Pretty quiet at cruise has a nice idle but if i go above 3 grand it wakes up. Still isnt louder than loud at wotQuote:

So I'm curious what sounds bad about it? What style magnaflow did you use?
I used a stainless steel 4x9 univeral magnaflow mufflers. It sounds dang awesome at idle to about 2500 rpms. But when hammered down it has a loud sound that doesn't have the classic muscle car sound like my other camaro had.
Your LS1 will never have the "classic" SB/BB Chevy V8 sound as the firing order is different.Quote:

I have sent my computer to frost. How much HP does that account for if any
Dude! JUST enjoy WHATEVER gains you get from this set up. I know your excited, but don't get too caught up in numbers at THIS point......my 02..........It's a good idea to focus on real numbers when you decide to get some real horsepower gains from: Hi performance Camshaft, LS6 intake and heads..................Quote:

Well maybe it's because I am over 40 now, but the car is louder than loud! But I do also have a cam!Quote:
