Default Exhaust Add Hp?

I HAVE BEEN HEARING A LOT PEOPLE SAY THAT ALOT OF THE EXHAUSTS OUT THERE FOR THE C6 JUST ADD INCREASED SOUND AND NOT HP. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR SOME FEEDBACK ON WHICH EXHAUSTS OUT THERE ADD SOME EXTRA HP, IF THERE IS ANY, AND WHETHER YOU COULD FEEL THE INCREASE AFTER INSTALL. THANKS.

i am sure that my BB Bullets added a handful of ponies, but honestly, i cant feel anything on the butt dyno. the biggest gain is that i am alot more in "tune" with what's going on with my 6 now that i can actually hear the friggin thing. dont even use the tach anymore...think i'll rip it out and put in a tiny little LCD display or a picture of mom

Headers and hi-flo cats will add ponies. The cat back exhaust is just a little "head turner" in my experience.
