True performance gain with header and dp questions

I was just wondering if I got the Bad Mab and a 3 inch downpipe..How much would it benefit me..My only mod is a KN intake..Also what is its effect on boost? What are the true performance gains if any?

not sure about power gain.

you should see a boost reduction due to less restriction from the exhaust but boost is not a measure of power anyway
