Default Any performance gains switching from SLP factory D/D to MAgnaflow catback?

Im thinking about switching from my SLP factory Dual/Dual exhaust to the Magnaflow Catback?

Do you think the Magnaflow will show any power gains on a Heads/Cam car compared to the SLP D/D?

So does the SLP dual/dual. I made the switch from the SLP DD to the Magnaflow, and the power gains were basically non-existent- but I do like the sound of the Magnaflow better.

An open cutout gained 1 HP over the Magnaflow.

An open cutout gained 5 HP over the SLP DD. Take it FWIW, but not worth the cost of the switch, IMHO.

Thanks, that's the kind of info I'm looking for!
Anyone else done the switch?

If you just want the big tips and the sound, then just swap the rear sections. As far as performance, the diffrences will be negligable. Both are the 2 best flowing catbacks on the market.

I've seen some posts of H/C or cam only cars gaining about 15ponies with an open cutout on a Dual Dual application.
