I wouldnt say exactly no gains, but it wont be nothing you can feel. Probably not even 5hp to the wheels. MM&FF did a test on mufflers for the 3v's, I believe they were showing some power gains, but I think it also had a couple other mods. Not sure what issue, but it was in there. They tested about 5 or 6 different companies.

No power gains but it will be music to your ears. Who needs a sound system when you got a great sounding exhaust

I feel that I've lost some torque from a dead start with the loudmouths. Seems dogged down from a dead stop.. As soon as you hit 3.5K+ rpms the it actually seems to give some hp gains.

You won't gain any power from loudmouths, there are actually reports that there is a loss of power but either way it's nothing significant so don't waste your time worrying about power from them.

Purchasing cat or axlebacks for our cars are purchased mainly for sound increase more than anything.

And thats why I'll never get a system to put in my car.
