Default Carson Tuned Cat-back Exhaust Question

Im 99% sure im getting the borla exhaust ..only other unit i like is the CARSON TUNED CAT BACK EXHAUST ..
has anyone dynoed the CARSON TUNED EXHAUST on a gs400 if so what gains if any (doest matter how little)did you get from it and also how loud are they?

i have read with the borla exhaust im looking at 1/2 -2rwhp max gain and a light sound.

how about the carson sysytem?

Personally Id get the Carson if I had to pick one. It has much better craftsmanship than the borlas. Plus ther catbacks so u will get a better gain then just mufflers from the Borlas Maybe 5 rwhp with the midepipe. Thats just my .02 cents.

thanks for the input .but before i pluck down some mula i would like to see some real #'s from what i understand with any (doesnt matter what unit) exhaust there is not much if any gain in HP for our GS400's if thats the case i rather just get the borlas then and save the few bucks.

hope someone can show me #'s to prove the 5hp gain on the carson unit.

my only concern is the carson tuned one, if you have body kits, the tips might be too short. othewise it's a good choice
