7-10hp from a catback? thats hilarious.

yeah you'll probably gain a little bit from a catback, but I don't think its necessary to get one unless you're F/I.

does it matter? it's still an outrageous claim on a N/A 2v whether its coming from an actual dyno or your butt.

I didn't notice any gain with my MRT H and SLP CB. Sounds good though.

I went ahead and put on my stock catback just to see how it felt. Since I have LTs and an O/R X that are both 2.5" piping, going to the smaller tubing on the stock catback greatly reduced my throttle response and definitely took away horsepower. Maybe my car is different than yours (or I'm more sensitive to change) but there is a power difference on mine
