The speed shop that installed my headers, said they dyno tested the same car with stock, and then with Corsa Sports, and there was no difference in HP.

I agree with the above statement. Most of the time you will not see any horsepower gains with an exhaust only. If you couple it with a good aftermarket intake you may gain a little.

If you go further and add exhaust headers now that's when you can gain some horsepower.

I personally have a Corsa Sport exhaust and a Blackwing intake on my car and did not really notice a difference except that it sounds much better under throttle.

I must be one lucky SOG. I went from 430HP stock to 467HP after all was said and done. Accomplished with only corcsa sport exhaust and the Callaway CIA. Got the papers!! And she does not run over 210F. Everything else is stock except the little bouncing dog thingamagigee on the dash.
