I'd say anything above 600whp..but will definitely draw some attention if it's a street driven car
You don't need fender exit exhaust. A good flowing exhaust works on 1300hp cars lol

I have a 4" dp through the bmr kmember with a cutout then tapered down to the 3" magnaflow catback exhaust. Having a fender exit exhaust is what all the cool kids are doing, but dragging tips is fun too.

Fender exits obviously work out best for turbo cars, but like subhuman's car, you can do it without also. I chose a fender exit on my car, because previously I had an issue with a full length exhaust's backpressure limiting hp on my car. So this next build I wanted the free-ist flowing exhaust I could do, and no backpressure, so I did a 4" downpipe out the fender. It has obviously been working well for me.

Fender exits simplify and save weight. We have fender exit on a few cars with great results.

I wood love to see back to back comparisons on a set of those against a set of 2" Kooks long tubes on a flow bench and then on a dyno to see the difference. Just seems like with all those weld joints and bends they surely can't be balanced to flow evenly. The turbo cars I get it. But N/A cars not so much. It does look really cool. Just curious as to what it will do performance wise.

for an all out NA car header design can mean a few HP....

My headers were basically fitting 20lbs of **** into a 1 lb bag.... but being a nitrous engine, its not a huge factor... on an all out nitrous engine its more important to get the exhaust out than a tuned length.
