Experts Of Exhausts....i need help

Experts Of Exhausts....i need help
i live in bahrain and exhaust systems shipping to here almost doubles the cost for the exhaust system which is very high...
currently i have 15% pulley,lightweight crank pulley,alta cai,one ball exhaust mod...
i wanted to ask if i will be making any power with this exhaust setup as i can get this setup within the country...
its a high power hks muffler which i will connect to the resonator and remove the stock exhaust system...

Advice?

performance gains ... not sure they would be worth it unless you change headers also.
biggest gain i see would be the lower weigth.

Now if you were to tune your car the exhaust could yield better results but then again you probably will not feel them with your butt dyno

Now the biggest reason i would see to change the exhaust would be for the sound and this system sounds pretty good to me

I say go for it !!!!!!!

After extensive research looking for an exhaust of my own, I went with the Alta v2 catback. They claim power gains which is due to high flow and less back pressure. i also bought their cai. I feel it but the sound also plays a factor. It's more "civilized than the other exhausts meaning its quiet when you want it and gets louder with more throttle. I can't get enough of the pops! Definitely recommend it. Alta does sales during holidays so halloween there may be a sale. Also no drone on the highway if you commute. Milltek, borla, invidia, there are a ton out there to check out
