Thats a good question, have you checked the Comptech webiste.

I was reading this mag where they changed the exhaust on a Euro Type R and it made 0hp. The exhaust was a Magnaflow exhaust.

Any axle back for that matter will give you minimal gains.

Considering the axleback portion of the ITR does not have any bottlenecks, and the Comptech ID is the same as the ITR OD, and they both have the same chambered muffler design, I'd say 0-1whp.

ITR axle back has a HUGE bottleneck. I believe 1.75

You will not get any gains, axle backs are a waste of money. Just sound.

That is silly. I had the Comptech axle back for awhile and it was a very nice piece. Sure, no big gains, but good quality and fantastic sound.

Likewise ...I've also gotten many compliments and it's one of the BEST fitting pieces. Also, the internal baffles are different from the stock exhaust. It's not just the 'bottlenecks'.

Last and least, the sound is also incredible.

Agreed, to get any real gains at all, you need to swap out the stock b-pipe as well, or at least remove the first major bottleneck where the pipe meets the catalytic.
