There are people here who have. I have not modified mine as I really need to keep the power train warranty. As soon as you tune, you are on your own if you have a major power train issue.

The only real advantage of a cat-back, in my opinion, is if you want a different sound. Replacing the stock x pipe and removing the resonators is what many people do. The 350 exhaust is pretty good and I have no intention of changing mine out.

Just wanted to see if there was any power increase with the catback, I have seen the a few with a tune, cai and full exhaust that made good power

I've been doing my research on a CAI and tune. If I go tune though I'll be conservative because I'm looking at longevity as well. If anything, I just want some more low end help.

The main restriction in the factory GT350 exhaust is the factory x-pipe. It necks down to 2.25". With the stock system it's nice to be able to lower the sound when you want. I believe some aftermarket exhausts may have the valves but if looking for a power advantage with a cat back, it will be minimum, if anything.

The magnaflow setup with the dual x pipes runs $600ish, or an exhaust shop can install some straight tubes in place of the resonators for a couple bills.
