Default How much hp gain from catback exhaust & intake?

How much hp do you think a catback exhaust and an intake will yield? State what combo you have and what hp gains you think or know you have gotten. I have the Injen intake with an RMM exhaust. I have no idea how much hp I have gained.

I think I probably gained around 15WHP (about 22hp) with my Borla exhaust and K & N FIPK. Pretty typical gains from any exhaust/intake combo. Now, modify the intake (re-route to only take in cold air) and throw an SAFC II and there is going to be a tremedous effect on HP. Doing these items can add an additional 15-20WHP if done and tuned properly!

Any idea what the gains would be for an '03 GS300? I'm debating which to do first....catback exhaust(ie, Magnaflow or Borla) or an SRT/ECU type upgrade?

Little bolt-ons are not going to give you substantial gains unless you do every one known to man. If you are looking for a decent upgrade you should start looking into forced induction or nitrous.

Yea I definitely plan on going the FI route in the future, but I just wanted to know about how much hp you can get from this combo. What kind of power is the GS3 putting to the wheels in stock form?
