If you have a stock exhaust, you will definitely pick up some power. A good 20-30hp with a cut out.

From what i have read you can expect a good gain if you have a restrictive exhaust. It also depends on other mods such as a cam.

Manifolds will maintain the back pressure I think. If there is a loss of back pressure you will lose low end torque, but gain top end power. You want a balance of air in and exhaust out. Since you car is mainly stock i don't know that i would go with a cutout. It could potentially offset the balance.
