Default check out my new exhaust...

it's a full 3" HKS Hi-Power cat back exhaust, sounds to quiet for me though but it'll be alright..but believe it or not i did feel a pretty big difference, i'd say about 5 hp difference...

I dunno, some exhaust systems just mesh well with certain engines... I gained around 16hp on my 240sx with K&N Intake and a Megan Racing hi-flow CAT + Exhaust. I'd say the Hi-Power system on a NA 2JZ could feasibly give up to 8hp.

I've never actually seen any documentation though...
