It won't give you that much, but with intake probably 15. It is definitely noticeable on the top end. I'd say it gives you 3 times more power than just an intake (thats how it feels anyway). Also, you could use the search function.

VeeTec gained 16 hp at the wheels with a Y-Pipe as his only modification, which is approximately 19hp at the crank. It really does make a huge improvement. A word of advice though, don't get the stillen Y pipe. Get another brand.

no doubt, the truest n/a mod that can be diagnosed by the butt dyno, in my opinion all the other ones are merely sound jading actual gains until the y pipe is added, becuz now ur cylinders are clearing up more making the exhaust mod serve its function, and with more volume to fill, the intake will therefore be sucking in more air making that serve its purpose as well, the y pipe is the connector point that puts it all together.

I think he meant after he got a y pipe he beat his friends altima. However if you are losing to an altima in a Maxima you are doing something wrong heh.
