Default What kind of hp gains from CAI and exaust?

I have a AFE Stage2 CAI intake and I am gettin a Flowmaster 40 series. Single muffler2.5in ... with two 2.25pipes out into duals. I know flowmaster isent that good for perfromance but I love the sound. How much hp and torque will the two produce? I am thinking maybe 10-15HP?

derrick is full of ****, it all depends on what stickers you put on your truck.

You won't notice a damn difference. Should have spent the money on getting an e fan, that'll free up more HP than any CAI and muff. Mmmm muff...drooolllll

Realistically, about 8-10 which will net you about 5-6 RWHP. However they are important pieces if you plan on other mods...

Dyno it.
Get a baseline number. Add the exhaust, then go back.
That is the only way to get a true number.
