I have it. I can't tell you before and after gains because I had other stuff done at the same time. On a modded SS/SC, it should be worth ~5whp, or more. Doc dyno'd and got a 4whp increase, but didn't take it to redline, so it would've been more. You'll notice the power increase in the mid-upper rpms, and your exhaust note will be deeper with this.
In fact, if you're interested, I may just sell you mine. PM me if you are. I'm going to be going with a header in the near future.

hea no header just the exhaust manifold and useing the stock downtubes im gonna keep eevrything ubder warraty

Doc

yea, I got 6hp and 10ft/lbs. very nice addition if you have warranty issues. The dealership can't tell its been honed & extruded, minus the sound .

here is a thread I did with the mods

I believe you have the 2.4 so the numbers won't be the same, but it'll still be a gain for you.

thanks doc i got a yellow one too now im gonna do all gm to kep warranty and have dealer install

Doc

save yourself some money and do it yourself. Its 1.3 hours of labor in alldata. It takes about an hour to do yourself. Unless you don't have the tools or a way to lift the car.

i agree. do it yourself. took me just about 2 hours in the driveway laying on my back. not hard at al, but would be way easy if the car was in the air.

PM sent to Bad06SS. I might hop on that manifold.

have it aswell, noticed the power increase instantly, was actually surpirsed, in my opinion its worth it, i got it pretty cheap to so i had no complaints

snobird

how did u take off a manifold if lying on your back isnt the manifold uo top on the bqck of the engine or dose it come out from below

Doc

put the car on jack stands, it comes out from the bottom.

snobird

dont worry about any warranty on your exhaust system.... nothing is going to go wrong with it withn the warranty period. or even a few years after that. just get the header and DP w/ catback and be done!

snobird

well im gonna do all gm route i wana srick to a all gmpp car a ordered the cold air intake and manifold and stil gotta order the cat back

Doc

I know GM makes a CAI/SRI for the 2.2, will that fit the 2.4? Or was that one for the 2.4?

chipmonk212121

was probably for the 2.4 since its the SS i would assume

snobird

the tech ordered the 2.2 he said its the same as 2.4
ss/sc is the only one thats different

Are they gonna make a CAI for the SS/SC ? Anybody hear yet ?
