Earlier you linked to a web site for the Magnaflow exhaust and I saw a link to a Steeda Fusion Power Pak. It claims that this will add 25 - 31 horsepower. Do you think that's accurate?
Keep in mind that with any bolt-on (especially for non-turbo engines), these parts will only free up the horsepower that was lost in the compromise to meet economy and emissions requirements. While reconfiguring the ECU to operate with a more aggressive tune while including an intake and exhaust will provide some gains, don't be surprised if you see less than what they advertise.
