This year ALL of my updated engines were fitted with OE mufflers, I carried out the development for my engine program and apply what works.

If you like sound, go for it. If you want less weight, go for it.. If you want HP, reconsider.
Jake is correct . Its all about the sound and the benefit of weight reduction when it comes to an aftermarket cat back exhaust. Under the best of circumstances, one might see a slight bump in hp. However, claims of a 10-20 hp increase on the part of some manufactures is extremely unrealistic .
