at the flywheel probably but not to the rear wheels. are you running headers as well? hows the rest of the exhaust?

well that type of exhaust will hurt low end performance. does that dual setup have an h pipe by chance. what is the diam of the tubing?

its pretty accurate, thats at the fly. subtract 25% from those to get wheel horsepower. the above mods really don't add a lot of power like most people think they do.

you could always dyno it and find out for sure.
