its louder and you will see peak hp gains with them, but you may lose some torque ala open headers. they honestly are there for the "cool factor" mostly

Gains vary from vehicle to vehicle.
30HP gain on a WRX
13HP on a LS1 Trans Am
20HP on a SRT4 Neon
75HP gain on a Turbo Honda
3 Tenths gain at the track for a VW 1.8T Jetta
35HP gain on Ford Lightning Truck
Our Electric Cutout on some fast rides!.
Fastest stock Turbo WRX, Fastest stock turbo EVO and Fastest GEN 3 GM Truck.

For the $40 mechanical ones, how hard is it to change it from regualar mode to open mode? How much time would it take?
