It's all for looks you make get 3-4 HP I ran my car at the track and had to close one pipe due to noise violation so all was running down to the X pipe and out one side it didn't mean squat. Buy what you like to look at or hear.

Corsa, B&B and Borla all make quality made cat-backs that will give you the same hp increases. I've seen as much as 10 on a modified car and as little as 0 on a stocker. Weight savings is something to think about. The B&B PRT's(half size mufflers w/bypass tube) and the Borla XR-1's(central resonator w/ 2 straight pipes) are a bit lighter than the other kits. An SLP Loudmouth has no mufflers at all. :D
