Default Most HP For Full Exhuast?

Im getting a full exhuast setup, long tube headers, x pipe, exhaust.
Whats better, x or h pipe?

What setup would give me the MOST horsepower I can get. Do different brands, have different amounts of HP?

I want to get the most HP I can get..

Thanks.

different brands don't give that big of a difference in performance. you'll probably get around 20RWHP or so from what i've seen with them LTs and everything.

Sounds about right. If you get a full intake with that you can get quite a few more. SLP, and BBK are two of my favs. but for catback I love the magnapacks.

It also depends on the car. I've seen cobras gain 40 RWHP from a full exhuast.

Ive seen dynos of cars with just a midpipe and catback gaining 15 rwhp, I dont see the reasoning why lt's are only getting you...5? Cobras arent an equal measurement to any results youll see on a GT because of the forced induction.

i gained a whopping 6RWHP from midpipe and catback. as it was said, if you have other mods, probably more. if you have the intake, tb & plenum, maye 25+RWHP.
