Default Anyone confirm or deny gains? [from M2 axle back exhaust]

Did a lot of looking around to see if anyone can answer whether or not the M2 axel back exhaust (ebay version of the tanabe) will actually make gains for the is350? The only answer I saw was "they didnt feel a difference" but thats just someones butt dyno talking. I saw a post on here saying most axel backs will give us a 5-7 hp increase. if thats the case im down for spending $300 after shipping on an axel back that gives me more ooomph!

heres the link to the exhaust

i doubt ebay exhausts will have any gain at all'

and even the most-gain axleback won't give you more oomph!

You will gain around 5-7 HP, but you can't feel the difference

The M2 is a knock-off of the Tanabe (just with fittment that isn't quite as good) so I'd expect similar gains, which like all axle-backs I've seen is around 5-7 hp.

Thank You. I'm most likely going to pick one up soon.
