Exhaust by itself will not get you much, 2HP MAYBE? It will get you some nice tone. 2.5 inch is all you need with a 5 banger.

Stock exhaust is 2.5". I removed the stock muffler and welded up a dual exhaust tail pipe with stainless tips. My cost was about $50 US. But I did my own fab work. Sounds nice, not loud. I'll see ifI can get a pic or a link to what I built.
