Lets not get carried away...

In several posts I have been reading that H or X-pipes are going to add 20+hp on a stock car, etc. Lets not get too carried away here people. This board prides itself on having members that give info only when they know it's helpful and correct. Passing bad or misleading info doesn't help anyone.
Yes, while and aftermarket H- or X-pipe helps release some nice HP for the money, I find it very hard to believe to suddenly everyone is gaining 20+ hp. Its a great mod for sure, but we don't want memebers walking around telling others haw their Mustang suddenly has 280+ hp because they install a H-pipe on their stock 99GT. I am sure 20HP+ can be found on a stock exhuast, superchaged GT, but thats not the cars asking the questions here.
From dyno charts I have seen, they release anywhere from 6-12hp on a mostly stock car. And 12Hp is usually on the higher side.
I only used this specific application an example, its not meant to make any people feel bad in any way and what not. I just know that a lot of sh1t went down on another board because suddenly people had "300hp" cars with a set of mufflers, a cold air intake, and underdrive pulleys, and alot of great members left the site.
