Is there a HP difference between Borla Race vs. Sport?

I just sold my Magnaflow and bought a 3.0" Alta but I think I'm going to go with a Borla. They are my customer so I know I can get it for almost free. I was wondering what is the difference between Race vs. Sport?
Thanks

The Race and Sport names imply the exact same exhaust.

Borla makes two exhausts, "aggressive" #140119 and no-name #140120. Aggressive is commobly called "race" or "sport". The no-name is commonly called "street".

I have never seen definitive numbers numbers between them. However, there was a thread on MINI2 where someone did dyno the JCW exhuast vice the "race" and they Race made 2 hp more than the JCW but did not say if that was wheel or crank.

I found my answer from Borla and there is no difference in HP just sound. The Race has less packing. Sorry for putting it in the wrong section. Having to different Mini sections throughs me off :-(

I hear a lot of people say they wish the Aggresive one was louder. They say the Non Aggresive is close to a one ball

Mario I have had both systems and there is no noticable differance which would imply that the 2 hp claim may be accurate. I would say the race is a bit lighter than the street as the two " mufflers " are much smaller on the race version.

I had both on my MINI, the "street" was too quite for me and I trade up to the "race". I love the sound, sounded more agressive. LOL
