I did a little research last night on how much exhaust wrap can actually help. Your looking at maybe 1 to 1/2 a percent improvement in power. Some of the power gained is because the wrap improves scavenging which allows more fuel to be burned (This doesn't mean that you will burn more fuel).


this link has some useful info and a test done with a graph.
