MBRP 4" Turbo Back Exhaust

I am thinking of buying a MBRP 4" Turbo Back Exhaust with Muffler in the very distant future. I love the sound, but I am having trouble finding horsepower and torque ratings. Can anyone help me out? Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Dan

They claim about 20 hp and lower your EGT's by 200 degrees. The exhaust is really a supporting member of a complete system. If you are going to add power with a programmer or module a good exhaust, and gauges are recommended before adding 100 to 160 hp. When your adding that kind of power you will notice your Exhaust gas temps rising alot faster and higher. This is why gauges are recommended, and the exhaust will help fight these temps.

Thanks for the welcome I have a Hypertech Programmer III set on stage 2. And it gets up to a thousand degrees max. I would love to cut down the EGTs and gain some more hp and torque. I have pyro and boost guages and a tranny temp that was stock in the dashboard.

Hypertech would be about the safest as far as EGT's go, but most everyone makes better power. You shouldnt have any problems with a hotter tune as long as you dont sustain egt temps above 1250. We go down the pulling track at about 1450 for nearly 20 seconds. No problems. A custom SCT would blow your socks off.

Getting rid of the muffler and straight piping it helps with the whistle. Get a muffler delete pipe from mbrp. Also not sure if your still running the stock intake, but opening it up with a diy tymar or any other open intake will help with the sound your looking for.

Are you looking for a straight pipe no muffler? I think Gus does from Farmboysdiesel? Check with him.
