According to the dyno sheet posted on Comptech's website there is a gain of 14 hp/17 lbs-ft torque (peak #'s).

My contact at Comptech claims the exhaust yeilds more performance gain than the headers. This is not terribly hard to believe when you study the design of the headers

I think working together with the headers, you should see a gain..

14 hp/17 lbs-ft torque are very high numbers from just an exhaust. It is hard to tell any difference with a gain of less than 10. You migh as well take the back seat out to save weight; you car would respond better that way then with a 5hp gain from some intake.
Does anyone have a Dyno sheet with the numbers they gained from JUST the exhaust, any exhaust?

I thought for the headers, Comtech claims an increase in hp of 32 at the wheels for the Type S and 5 - 6 at the wheels for the exhaust. This what they told me anyway. Can anyone else confirm this? Does it just depend on who you talk to at Comptech?

If you guys look at Comptechusa.com, you will see the results of the dyno. On 1999 TL, Exhaust added 2-3 HP but with Header, it added 17HP (Thats with Exhaust & Headers). Also on Type S, they don't have Dyno for TL-S but they have one for CL-S. With Headers & Exhaust added, Dyno show that CL-S gained over 30HP at the wheel. I don't know how much HP gain you would have if you just added Exhaust. I know for a fact that Headers add more HP than Exhaust. I also called Comptech to verify that.

NSX4DR did a dyno before & after Comptech exhaust and picked up around 12-13 hp.
