You won't gain very much hp, but it sure will sound better

You have to know that its for sound only and you will gain nothing or barley something that isn`t even worth posting about. Exhaust is for sound only.

As mentioned, an exhaust is not a performance mod per se. Buy an exhaust more for its sound quality. A quality exhaust may get you 4-5 hp...not much but every hp counts.
