You know, I've never really thought about it that way, but the LTHs probably would have given you the advertised 30RWHP if you didn't already have the downpipes installed.
Seems the biggest single choke-point is the cats (obviously).
I'm curious to see what kind of power the Needswings headers would produce with an e-cutout installed a foot or so downstream. For $1,300, you would theoretically have the same HP as a LTH/cutout setup
