According to the specs the websites give, deleting the cat frees up 5-7hp, and the downpipe frees up 8-12hp. I cant say that I felt a 20 hp increase or not, but I did notice that it reved up quicker, pulled a little harder to redline (Or for me, 5500rpm

), and lost some low end grunt. But you gotta expect that when you take away backpressure. Theres a ton of threads on exhausts, use the search function.
