a friend of mine has this on his stingray, it sounds really good...but he has headers and high flow cats to complement.

I don’t think that’s it adds “ a lot more” HP, you should definitely dyno your car before and after install just to make sure you are getting the advertised hp
Agree. Total exhaust mod might give you up to 25hp increase....If you are lucky and don't cheap out. Good headers are properly tuned to your peak RPM band. Cat backs only are usually only good for 10 or less so I guess we will see....if @WLGJ does dyno before and after. If not, no one will ever know.

Their claim may or may not be true for your car. Maybe your car makes more or less than factory advertised 495hp?
Yeah. I wouldn't take that to the bank. I've see that much difference from different runs with the same car on the same dyno on the same day. Depends on the dyno make as well... Dynojet are typically more reliable than Mustang Dyno. Guessing your time on the track will be the only way we're gonna know..
Found this….
Yes, aftermarket exhaust systems can provide performance gains for the LT2 engine. Late Model Racecraft (LMR) saw an increase of roughly 21.5 lb-ft of torque by replacing the stock system with a custom cat-back exhaust. On a fifth gear dyno pull with the LMR exhaust, peak wheel torque jumped to 438.3 lb-ft while horsepower was up slightly, to 459.16.
Here’s a breakdown of potential improvements:
• Torque and Horsepower Increase: LMR’s cat-back exhaust system added close to 40 lb-ft of peak torque and a few peak horsepower at the wheels. The system also increases as much as 20 horsepower through the middle of the power band.
• High Flow Catalytic Converters: LMR designed high flow catalytic converters for the C8 Corvette, which increased the baseline numbers from 458.4 horsepower and 437.92 lb-ft of torque at the wheels to 467.79 horsepower and 447.93 lb-ft of torque.
• Overall Gains: Comparing the original dyno numbers from this C8 prior to any exhaust work being done to the numbers with the cat-back system and the high flow cats, this C8 Stingray gained roughly 10 horsepower and 47 lb-ft of torque without any other changes to the vehicle .
Over 4 times the gain in torque vs hp . As Martha would say……
And this video from LMR .
not sure if this helps anything but we are a legit company. We don’t have any sound clips of this product because it’s a newer released product which is why we don’t have any videos. Hence why we offered it for such a cheap price to help us get some better pictures and videos for our website.
This thread went down the Mariana trench and back. I've cleaned it up some more and put in restrictions.
