Horsepower gain with borla s type exhaust

I know this is old but I guess I did not get it,,,,,,,,, I have been told that it makes zero horsepower. I have also been told by thunder racing that it surely will make horsepower as their testing on there dyno has shown conclusively. Please give me your comments. Maybe they want to sell so they will tell you exactly what you want to hear. Borla says they make horsepower also,,maybe for the same reason. I BELIEVE IN THIS FORUM FOR THE TRUTH !!!

I can tell you CAI intake, Borla ATAK cat-back, stainless works 1 7/8 LT headers and Dyno tune will add 68 to your RWHP.

Does that help?

Any horsepower gain is small but in addition to the improved sound there is a pretty decent weight reduction.

Since its a catback it also has potential to increase your fuel economy, which is never a bad thing.

....OP, you will get some weight reduction so that helps, I guess. Exhaust just seems like a stepping stone for headers/intake... that is when s- gets fun.
