Well, I ran my 08 LS 2.2L this past weekend with the new exhaust. It picked up a bunch. I have a 1/8th mile drag strip 10 minutes from my house, and since my car was new, I have been adding and subtracting parts to see what is actually making a difference. When the car was stock, it ran pretty consistant 11.50s at 61/62 mph. I installed the GMPP Air Intake and I shaved the ET down to consistant 11.30s at around 64mph. Last week I installed the Magna Flow catback system ( 2 1/2: primary pipe with 4" outlet muffler) and the car ran a best of 11.11 at 67mph. All night it ran low 11.20-high 11.10s, but it is tougher to launch on the OEM tires now, it wants to spin more ( 60ft times 2.6-2.8). I have been running the same tires for all of the testing, so the numbers are more accurate then with a tire swap. If I make a tire change, I am pretty sure it will run mid 10sec 1/8th mile times, but we'll just have to see. I will putting some tires on it soon and I will let you know how she makes out.
