yeah, you'll see a 20% reduction of overall horsepower. So if you're 4 banger has 100 hp, you'll go down to 80 hp.

Correct. It's also claimed to give a little better low-mid power with it in, because of the added backpressure.

I can feel it lag a little bit in the higher RPM with the silencer in.
