Because it's after the cat, I'd say just about the same as every other aftermarked cat-back - about 8-12hp.

^ Agreed, the most you can pull from a very well bent catback is 12. The area of the exhaust that is constricting would be the catyletic convertor area. I would suggest an up-pipe, and a downpipe to you if you are looking for an agressive tone, but with the straight pipe it will be loud !

dynos are probably costly and hard to find but if you really want to ask questions thats why forums were made

How on earth can a 3 in. straight pipe be quiet?!
I had a 3 in. straight pipe axleback on the stock exhaust setup and that thing woke up the entire neighborhood every morning.
