While it is advertised that hp is a byproduct of an aftermarket exhaust, don't count it. IMO an exhasut shouldbe purchased strictly due to sound and appearance, Will you gain a few ponies? Maybe, but nothing big :D
yeah, what buck said. an after-market system may help your system breathe better, but only to the extent you've modifyed what's coming in. also, lessening the overall weight, while not adding power, does help.

Get the Borla XR-1 that is the sound you are looking for.........

I share your taste for a V8 sound and used to have 5.0's with flowmasters......

This is a close as it gets....

SLP Loudmouth sounds like a muscle car and a loud one at that. Pretty inexpensive too...$499 in the forum mall:
