Exhaust Set Up

What is the best way to get the most HP out of an exhaust set up. Right now I only have the CAI. I was thinking about a warpspeed y-pipe, a random tech. cat, and a greddy cat-back but I have been told this reduces low-end torque causing a loss in acceleration. How much HP alone does the Y-pipe produce. Thanks

You will see around a 15 - 20 HP gain using the Y pipe.

20 HP is a good figure to bank on with the addition of a y-pipe AND a CAI. You shouldn't get any less than that. If you get more than that, well, more power to you. By the way, the Greddy is loud. Also, try to get the Cattman pipe instead of those 'other' brands...saving $100 bucks or whatever on a cheaper pipe just isn't worth it.
