Intake + Exhaust = what hp gains overall?

Have no idea why lol, It may have changed the velocity of the exhaust because longer intake runners? Regardless, it was the first thing I noticed when I reinstalled my stock manifold. I was butt hurt because it came back and did not sound as nice haha. Inadvertent benefit.18" resonators will give the TP's and headers a nice balance. I understand people like loud, it will be loud and aggressive without being obnoxious. MY Tanabe exhaust was rated at 93db though... pretty quiet when I'm not on the throttle. The second I tip in the gas, it opens up a serious can. I couldn't imagine LTH's/TP's with 12" or no resonators at all. I would purchase an insurance policy on my ear drums.
