-SE 1/4 mile time with RB Exhaust

I just replaced my mangled hack-job exhaust system, which consisted of a stock muffler and RB header. I replaced it with a full RB exhaust system, from the header to the muffler tips. I got the basic RB system, which means its not the dual pre-silencer street-port system.

I took the car for a little blast up the street and it feels A LOT stronger then it used to. It seems to have way more mid-range torque, and takes a LOT less time to get through the gears. So my question is this: does anyone have a 1/4 mile time for a GSL-SE with just a basic RB exhaust system on it? I can't get out to the track for another few weeks, so I'd like to get some numbers to aim for.

I've been telling these guys forever that the RB system is dyno proven to be effective.
And that the makeshift exhaust systems are unproven as far as if a straight thru muffler or system adds more than a proven RB system.

Sorry to get off track, I'll get off of my soapbox now.
I don't have any quarter mile times.
If you want to wake it up somemore put the 2nd gen coil on and get the pineapple racing sleeves. It really wakes it up.

No problem. I love the exhaust system so far. I believe it makes power, and it sounds great. I've been taking the car up and down the street just to hear it.

I have a 2nd gen coil on the pile of parts in the garage. I don't have the pineapple sleeves though. However, I do need to take apart my LIM to lubricate my aux sleeves, so maybe I'll put a set in at that time.

IMHO the pineapple racing sleeves are well worth the $50.00 for what they do!

It does sound great, doesn't it? And definately registers on the butt-dyno. I remember when I first put the full system on Pamela and took Matt for a spin. We were both highly impressed.

15.9 1/4 If I remember correctly. That may have been just the cat replacement pipe though. Kinda crappy launch and a 190,XXX motor.
