Default dyno gain with cat-back?

i was looking into either the B&B bullets or BORLA stinger
and wanted to know if there will be a HP gain with either kit over my Ti?

and anyone know what the weight diff. will be?

the difference in hp gains is so minimal on a catback that you really have to make your decision on sound and looks. i dont believe that either of those exhausts are any lighter than the Ti, although they will definitly be much louder since they don't have mufflers, and will most likely have a lot of drone.

I actually thing B&B tells you theirs is 3 lbs heavier than stock Ti exhaust. As for performance gains expect none. I have dyno graphs that show no gain between the two exhaust on a cammed car making 423 rwhp. Now what you will get is an extremely loud and mean sounding Z from the bullets especially with headers.

I agree, I ran the stock system till I was making almost 450 rwhp. The gains are very small.

The difference in power would be almost nothing unless you have a big hp combo that is being restricted by the stock Ti's (like a 700 hp turbo setup).
