Default How much HP with new mods?

I was wondering how much hp i will gain with Pacesetter LT's and True Duals?
It is a x-pipe with dynomax bullets dumped at the axle.

Right now i have stock exhaust with a cutout in the i-pipe. (under rear passenger seat)

Thanks

I gained 26rwhp after a tune (19rwhp before tune), but my car is an A4 and I only have a y-pipe w/ dumped bullet.

gotta get a tune, LT's increase volumetric efficency in the midrange by ~10%, which is enough to cause a lean condition, knock, and end with your car running with retarded timing, making the power drop as much as you gained with sheer airflow. so unless you just want a louder car with no power gains, get a tune
