I keep trying to find information as well. The places that I have looked into are not posting any dyno numbers that show the increases (if any).
They only talk about the sounds :thumbsdown:

That's because there probably aren't any power gains from just a set of mufflers.

I have the RPI exhausts which the manufacturers claim a 5-7hp gain, i haven't noticed an improvement really. It sort of feels like it's breathing (exhaling??) a bit better at higher revs but that may be a placebo effect.
Lot's of videos of mine here: http://www.youtube.com/user/MotoristCY

I was looking at headers and mid pipes as well. Can't believe the cost on some of them for the sound!

If you get headers, S-pipe, X-pipe and mufflers you will definitely see some gains. Just not with mufflers only. Plus the cost is way too much for the horsepower improvement. Since yours is a US M, just installing our Euro headers (not even aftermarket) will give you a useful 10hp minimum. You'll need to relocate your O2 (Lambda) sensors to the same location as we have them in order to prevent a Check Engine light though. It's a popular mod in the States this.

That is good to know! Will start looking at the UK ebay
After a lot of searching and testing, I've found the best mod for the exhaust is shown in the video linked below.

Ok, so I haven't managed to wash the car or make better videos of the Remus back boxes yet, so I'll just post what I have so far. No comments on my filthy car / tail pipes! Both were very shiny until the roads were salted 
The sound quality isn't great so turn the volume up.
