a little but not much..just a parasitic drain gain = not much..probably won't even notice it..it is called the thermactor air system and what it does is inject air into the exhaust stream to heat up the cats quicker on cold start up to bring them online faster to reduce emissions as quick as possible

If it doesn't have cats, is the lower tube hooked to anything? If not is will blow out into the air and sound funky.
