I can not tell you what the exact HP gain is for just mufflers... but I did Hooker AeroChambers and noticed a difference on the butt-o-meter. I believe it was Magnaflow exhaust that said the mufflers were the only restrictive part of the C4 exhaust... so that was the only thing I replaced.

what muffler are you planning to go with? You are kind of restricted to size in the space you have to work with... my tips stick out about an inch from the stock location now... but I think it looks pretty cool. Make sure you get the right measurements so you don't end up with the 'ricer' look.

Either way, I don't want you to think I'm criticizing your choice... I'm just confused... it happens a lot.

Cris,It was a bit confusing,I guess the question is would you get any more hp going with a 2 1/2 cat back system rather than just changing out the mufflers i think the original system is 2 1/4
