a b pipe will provide better exhaust flow but wont give near the power of a b pipe. ive heard anywhere from 2-5hp for a complete b pipe with either 2.25 or 2.5 piping.

it's also known as the "midpipe", located after the cat, before the muffler. u won't be gettin a lot of HP/torque without other components of the exhaust system, especially the Y. start from there
