Added HP/Torque with Axle Back Exhaust??

Hey guys (and girls), I own a 2014 Camaro LS and was wondering if an Axle Back Exhaust with a muffler delete would add any Horsepower or Torque? I'm going to assume not since it really is just modifying the sound, however when researching it some people were saying you could expect a 5 to 10% gain and I wanted to know if this was true? I had a MBRP Axle Back installed a few days ago and it definitely feels more powerful but I can't tell if that's just because its louder lol. Also, I am from Nevada and removing a muffler is technically illegal but no decibel limit, what are the odds I get pulled over for exhaust noise? Thank you for your help!

An axle-back will give next to no power gain - even a cat-back is only worth a few HP, if even that. The cat-less/high-flow cat downpipes have been proven to give 10 - 15 HP or so I believe.
