How Much HP Will I Gain?
There may be a gain of 10 horsepower at the wheels with just a catback, but 20 is very unlikely. They were referring to a complete exhaust system adding up to 20 horsepower which is very possible with headers.
"SS Intake, SS Hood, Cutout, Highflow cats, flowmaster 80 series muffler
"
i would guess 10-12hp. the cats aren't helping much as is retaining the stock pipes...and with the cutout...the muffler is not in the picture. and the SS hood is really not that much of a mod.
did you add an aftermarket lid when you did the "ss intake"?? if you did i would boost your total gain up to 15hp
for the other guy...a borla catback should have gained you about 10-13hp overall...assuming you use the "wide open" plate. could have gotten the same gains with a $400 catback like magnaflow and a $30 cutout

What do you mean by stock headers? Exhaust manifolds? Whats wrong with the cats that are on the car? And you might what to check to make sure a 3" cut-out is the right size for your stock "pipe".
