Default Exhaust Help Please

Need help with deciding to spend the $ for an exhaust upgrade. With the mods in my sig how much horsepower am I losing due to the stock cats, midpipe, and tubing?

With those heads, intake and SC, i would think a good amount. The stock cats, maybe a little HP but that stock mid pipe is restrictive. I would def see about getting an aftermarket H or K pipe.

i would go with a catless x pipe. You will definetly notie the difference when you put it on. I believe its good for 10-12 hp on a stock combo and not sure what it would be with your mods. Keep the stock pipe for smog.
