    You would think a vendor would offer this kind of information.

    JBA and ARH should be able to figure out a way to put a minimum performance number on their product running through the factory exhaust, that's all I ask. Allow the customer to decide if he wants / needs to chase more power.

    Manufacturers of cat back systems can use those ARH & JBA numbers to market their kits with customers knowing how much power is gained by replacing the factory cat-back with an aftermarket kit. They can also come up with better exhaust kits that are 100% factory replacement kits with improved minimum power gains for certain applications.

    Remove as much of the confusion and guesswork from the buying process for the CUSTOMER.

    I have been gathering numbers from different sources, and it looks like the 1-3/4" cat-less ARH Direct Connect header system that I am looking at would add 20 to 25 hp as a stand alone mod.

    From what I gather a basic cat-back adds another 3 to 10 hp, and a cold air kit adds another 5 to 10 hp but only after the exhaust is free flowing.
