Exhaust HP amount?

Does anyone know about how much added Horse Power there is in every mod you do on your car. I just put in a Budget Y-pipe and Iv read thats anywhere from 15-20 HP's and I can definatley feel it, but of course If I can add even more without the crazy high whiney noise Im down. So does anyone know the HP's on a B-pipe and a test pipe and the High flow Cat?

Take a look at Motorvate.ca

He dyno'd his Maxima after the y-pipe and again after the b-pipe.

He came out with substantial increases, and seems to back it up.

Thats site was pretty good actually. Now all I need to do is find a good but inexpensive b-pipe, cuz $180-200 is till pretty expensive for only about 4-5 HP. Any suggestions?...

Bolt-ons will only eliminate restrictions. The OE Maxima wasn't all that restrictive to begin with. If you want any significant gains, you will either need to increase the compression with engine internals/heads or convert to forced induction.
Power doesn't come cheap and frequently requires much more money just to upkeep such power.

Just take all the numbers off eBay and add them up. 15-20 here, 10-15 there, go wild with it. Enjoy the fantasy that is ricermath.

By no means do I want to rice it out, thats why im staying away from getting an intake, though it does bring power it also brings noise, Im not trying to make it a racecar, so ill probably go with my y-pipe/b-pipe combo.

Any muffler shop can customize a b-pipe for you, prices range between resonated and non-resonated. It's definitely going to be cheaper.
