you will feel a difference, ask those guys who have performance exhaust how much power they loose if there is a hole in the system. that means u do feel a difference.

I did an almost full exhaust on mine at first (headers and an o/r h pipe) and added a whole bunch of bolt ons and the intake manifold. Well after I got her breathing better I added the catback and it made an entire world of difference. Full exhaust is worth a good amount of hp, but I wouldn't just piece it together like I did, do it fully the first time.

you'll notice 10-20 hp gains if you complete it with a cat back system
