New muffler alone will not give anymore h.p. than stock. Cat-back should yield about 5-8 h.p. Not very noticeable by itself. Sound all depends on the exhaust system you choose. I have a GReddy and really couldn't hear it while driving because my Stillen intake is so loud. I can hear a low rumble at idle. It sounds good. Now I have a y-pipe and that is just as loud as the intake, but honestly my radio nearly drowns out both. I really like the rumlbe it puts out now.

I like mine (GReddy). If did it over again, I may look into a custom system only because it could be done cheaper.
