how much of a hp gain do you get on the exhaust??
They always come up with the 5% number but to be honest, I doubt it you gain 5%. I haven't sensed a noticeable difference on my M6 but soundwise ... my God that thing now sounds like a Ferrari. I was videotaped the other day by two carfanatics and they put it on YouTube. Mind you, I was just driving away from a parkingspot and didn't even go over 3,000 rmp. The party starts at 3,000 rmp and goes up to 8,250 rpm which makes the car scream like an F1.

In other words: I'm just replacing the exhaust for the sound. The HP gain is secondary to me.

Oh, here is the link to the YouTube clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG91y1MYYSM
