Default Straight pipes and pulleys hp??

I have a 97 mustang GT, I am thinking about putting straight pipes on it with tips out the back, not for sure what style tips yet but has anyone heard a mustang with straights??
I was also wonering about how many hp pulleys will give you? If they are even work what you pay for?

Thanks!

Any gains you get from the pullies would probably be negated by the straight pipes. IMO straight pipes sound like ***. Pullies willmake your car rev faster and get you 6-8 hp and I noticed a 1-2 mpg gain as well.

Straight pipes sound like straight a$$. Also straight pipes kill your horsepower by causing backpressure because the gas pulses have no place to merge and even out the flow.
