less than 10hp... but gained sound... unless your talking about wider pipes or longtube headers most exhaust work is for a more agressive sound not for preformance gains

well they sound somewhat louder.. but for 350 bucks i thought i would notice a HUGE difference... like a significently deeper roar. sound is exactly the same as stock when im idling too.

Dont take this the wrong way, but its hard to get a deep deep roar out of the V6. You can definitely make them sound better though

well you have a 1" stock ricer opening... then you have our 3" opening... then you have the 32" ricer fart can aftermarket opening.... only one of those is acceptable. You guess which one.

Oh and if you want a more agressive sound replace the mufflers with some borla stingers or boomtubes... best exhaust on the market right now IMO. If you want a more race car and deeper sound then go with the borla, if you want a louder rumble and a super loud exhaust go with the boomtubes. The muffler, followed by going with an off-road or o/r pipe will be ur best sound gains.

I'd be surprised if you gained ANY HP. You've simply reduced the overall LENGTH of your stock exhaust piperestriction.
