Default X-pipe question ???

GUYS

I HAVE READ THAT THE X-PIPES ARE GOOD FOR 2-3 HP, MAYBE MORE DEPENDING ON THE MODS ON YOUR VEHICLE. I HAVE BBK SHORTIES, HALLTECH INTAKE AND TUNE, WILL THE X-PIPES GIVE ME MORE HP ??? ALSO WEST COAST CORVETTES HAS THE MAGNAFLOWS FOR $274.95 AFTER DISCOUNT, AND AN INHOUSE WCC X-PIPES WITH FERRITIC STAINLESS STEEL ( IF ANYBODY KNOWS WHAT THAT MEANS LOL ..) FOR $264.95 AFTER DISCOUNT. SHOULD I PULL THE TRIGGER OR NOT WORTH IT ????

A two horsepower difference can't be accurately measured on a dyno with any certainty even with back to back pulls. The X pipe will stop the popping on deceleration and may help scavange the headers a bit better. The Magnaflow is a nice piece, but don't expect to see or feel and any additional horsepower.
