What HP gaines for an X pipe alone?

What type of gaines in performance am I looking at with an X pipe and a stock exhaust system?

At best you are talking 3-5HP, IMO.

I'm new here, but saw you guys talking about X-pipe gains.

What about high flow cats and an X-pipe combo.? Anything more from that?

Can't speak for just the x-pipe, but I went to the Bassanni off-road X and tuned and gained over 30 rwhp. Sound improvement was nice too.

here's a great article from Vette magazine:

http://vetteweb.com/tech/0307vet_xpipe/

the x-pipe itself is negligible but according to the article an aftermarket catback along with the x-pipe will give you 10+hp. don't know how true that is, anyone on the forum will tell you you'd be lucky to see that much. mostly people swap their catbacks for the sound and looks.

now LG headers on the other hand.........
