A Magnaflow exhaust alone will get you a good amount of increase in HP... I would guess 8-12 HP

I did both at the same time and I love it. The magnaflow is awesome, and paired with the CA header its just a beautiful tone. Just make sure you shop around for the magnaflow cause you can get it for a much better price than magnaflow asks.

If you are buying the exhaust for 200 that is the best damn price in the world lol. I paid 500 new through ebay, but I got lucky, picked up the last one at that price. The cheapest Ive seen since then is around 600. But magnaflow wants 800 or so for it brand new. So I guess my answer is yes, that is an awesome price, as long as it is in good condition
