I was thinking of just cutting out the hotdog crimp section. You reckon it will drone if i do that? Car is an auto.
Not if you keep the rear mufflers stock (or SS stock)

Exactly.
The pros with the growler is it is enclosed and a non oil filter (correct me if im wrong), which means it shouldnt defect you and it looks stealth, but its expensive and you would need to make your own piping
Cant remember the final torques but it was a fairly significant gain
Mate from experience the way to go would be to change the diff gears (best bang for buck even though it doesnt add kw), tune or chip, catback, headers/cats, intake in that order from greatest to least performance gain. And bang for your buck the diff gears, tune/chip, and catback (given that you can just cutout the middle section and throw on rear mufflers)
if it's a manual greatest performance boost is with a quality clutch then diff gears loving my 3.45 total different car. still nothing on a v8 but good none the less.
Also most L98 make more then 200rwkw (most make 215-225ish) stock my VY SS ute made 203rwkw stock as a rock.
Probably not really relevant but ive got a vz Calais with the 190kw alloytec. Currently its got a dual 2.25 inch X-Force exhaust, 2 hole mod, Bosch platinum plugs and lukey air filter, next Saturday im getting Pacemaker extractors and magnaflow cats installed along with a Dyno tune. The place doing the extractors cats and tune estimate that i should get 220 - 230 rwhp or 165 - 170rwkw. So to get a 195kw alloytec up to 200rwkw you are talking much more than bolt- on parts and tune. Ill be getting a Dyno sheet before fitting extractors, cats and tune and one after its all done. so itll be interesting to see what the figures really are. but who is to say the Dyno inst lying either. lol
why do you keep saying 200rwkws is out of the question? look up phils ute mate. 247rwkws N/A.
