Not very much. A test pipe is a bad idea also.

only dyno tune will tell the result of your "custom" exhaust.

I think you get 30whp on the butt dyno and its going to be mad loud with that.

Loud is an understatement. I'm running something similar on my H22 del Sol and well, it's really loud. You get used to it after a while though.

I have JDM 4-1 headers into a thermal r&D all the way back and you cant even hear it. I think its the best sounding set up out there. Power gain isnt bad either

sorry homeboy u are going to get flamed here and its going to get very, i mean very cold!
As for your question if your ride is stock i would say 3hp is what u will gain. So i would suggest to buy a different mod if u want power hp. ex. cam, intake, etc.

on a stock engine 5hp is the most your can gain with the exhaust.
Like many have say...get the intake and header you will feel more gain.

if he wants any kind of serious answer he should at least tell people the rest of his setup. but even then he would probably just get flamed.

you should get 3 zillion horsepower at the flywheel,but sadly it will only translate to less than 1 (not zillion) at the wheels.

on your stock engine you could expect upwards of 80WHP.

the thing is, that theres pretty much a direct correlation between HP gain and size of mufller, so if you wanna be HELLA fast, you should buy one of those watermelon launchers that are like a foot in diameter
