Is this a header-back or a cat-back system? Even if it was just a cat-back, as long as the tubing was good quality it sounds like a decent price.

For a cat-back, its been documented on here that you could get 10+whp.

Like he said above, if the exhaust is of good quality and you use a nice muffler then it will sound and perform nice. Going with 2.5" is a good choice.

Also, does the exhaust tubing have crush bends or mandrel bends? That would also make a big difference.

With crush bends, the tubing is simply bent "normally" which causes the tubing on sharp bends to kink and actually decreases the diameter of the tubing. When tubing is mandrel bent, there is something inserted into the tubing which keeps it a uniform diameter all the way around the bend.

Here is a picture of a crush bend:



I hope that helps.
