i will somewhat disagree. i'd say more around 5-7. if you didn't gain anything from putting on a freer flowing exhaust, then why do racecars cut off the exhaust after the headers?

its just weld-in mufflers..... and racers typically have a much freer flowing engine, one that is pumping enough volume to actually be affected by its exhaust.

To take full advantage of the muffler you have to allow the air to enter the engine better as well as exit.
