2-3 hp, more tq depending on what brand.
Spin tech 333SCS mufflers will give the best results on a V6.

Aside exhaust will run you around $700 plus skirts and paint. Not worth it IMHO. Some people ^^^^ like it though.

I have a buddy looking to do it to his GT and he is afraid he'll have to drop the cash and get the actual kit for it.

Just mufflers are about $100 each. But like was posted, a kit can break the bank quick.

Not trying to steal the post or anything (trying to keep the posts down), but doesanyone know the quality of eleanor mufflers? i found a barely used exhaust kit for 150. But it includes all the piping except for what comes out the side. suggestions??

Just a guess, but I'm going to guess pure crap. Never heard of them, and for such a low price, I would avoid them. "All piping" means all of 2 pipes if it doesn't have the exit pipes.

I was jsut hoping I was out of the loop, but I've never heard of them so they may very well be total ****.

On another note, I only heard about Kaenen hoods about 2 weeks ago and now there's one at my house. Heard a ton of good things from everyone who had one just by doing about an hour of research.
