The only thing I prefer with the Stebro is that the dual tail pipes 
actually start in the muffler unlike the Scorpio which has one pipe 
comming out of the muffler and later splitting into dual tip.
I like the idea of the dual tips actually welded by the manufacturer 
of the exhaust and not bu some high school drop out at the local 
muffler shop.
As for horsepower increase, it will be marginal.
The stock exhaust is great, removing catalitic will help the most, 
especially if old.

BTW My coupe has Stebro and I couldn't be happier with it!
