Question GHL Cat-bypass, how much HP?

How much additional hp can I expect from a ghl cat-bypass exhaust? Will I get additional boost? I'm running 15 psi right now.

Do you have a cat back? The biggest gain is going to be spool. Boost will probably increase less than 1 psi and horsepower increase probably about 5 rwhp.

No, its a cat-bypass system. Starts from the down pipe. GHL is claiming like 20-30 extra HP. What is realistic?

That is on a stock car and the this will be less unless you have a catback as well. On a stock car just the pipe 10 or so whp.

Also depends on your cat and how it is. Mine was blocked bad so when I put in a 3" test pipe from Fabspeed I did see more power but at the same time 3 more PSI. After I turned the boost down to 15 PSI again I didn't see much more power but faster build up of boost though. The sound is awesome to!!
