Default How much horsepower would I be leaving on the table??

Here's the scenario: I have a 98Z A4 and I'm about to buy full exhaust for it. If I go with lt's catted y and hooker/magnaflow how much power would I be sacrificing over a lt,orx, true dual magnaflow setup?? The car is completely stock except for a lid and filter.

Not much, maybe 5-10whp.

Think of it this way if you go with cats and y.....
better ground clearance
no rasp
pass emissions
and better exhaust sound

i agree. free flowing cats on a stock setup will rob very little power and a free flowing catback will not lose little if any.once the mods like h/c in when they will start being a restriction.
