~2 HP if I remember correctly. That's why they mention that there are gains but won't mention the measly number.

I know the Flowmaster Force II I had on my V6 showed a before/after dyno chart of about that much.

Any performance gains you feel will be from the reduced weight of the Roush ABs vs. stock

Swapping any chambered muffler for a blow through will help flow! As far as getting any real gains out of them are extremely minimal and I know this!! I am asking if any one has any proof of the minimal gains on paper! I don't care if it is 1 or 2 hp for my informational purposes I'm asking this question. Not for anyone to make smart*** comments!

You can't get 2hp gains on paper. There is no dyno that offers that sort of resolution

Hey guys... Blue oval had the Roush ABs for $380.00, but now they're back to $469.00.
Who's got the best price right now? I'm looking, but don't see any deals right now...

This thread helped convince me to buy them, but it would be nice to save a few bucks...

Your going to have to shop around prices are going up due to demand. Look on eBay and forum sales sections may find someone looking to sell. Other wise if I come across some good prices will let u know

I spoke to a couple retailers about that and it wasn't them, Roush raised the minimum advertised price. It was the big guys discounting them so much that hurt the smaller retailers. PM Steve from PureSpeedMotorsports, he's a vendor here and can probably offer you a good deal.

Those are for Catback systems, not axlebacks.

They sound great, so you will get a wonderful placebo effect.

I have no resonators and a 3 inch aftermarket X-pipe. I don't know if my exahust has made any huge differences, but it does seem to pull cleaner and harder. I also have the FRPP tune.
