Has anyone with this kit seen any performance gains at the track?

Generally speaking, a cat back system alone will not gain much if anything other than sound.  Downpipes on the other hand, even with stock exhaust, will pick up a tenth or two.

 I was told LMS got 12hp from this kit being it's 2 1/4 inch compared to the stock 2 1/8 and it also deletes the 3rd cat. I wanna hear from guys who have this kit that have raced.

On the LME website (few months ago now) I remember seeing the Corsa cat back being rated at 5-6 hp...combined with the dpipes I could see the extra power.

I wasn't at a track..
But I definitely felt a difference when I did my LMS corsa cat back. Actually felt bigger difference with cat back then when I did the downpipes..

For the small gains with just adding cat back, few degrees warmer with some extra humidity could be the cause of a  lack in improved times.

Hope you are fighting fit, Z!  Get out there and set a new PB :)

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Z- weather permitting I will be heading to Atco Friday so I'll keep you posted.
