Hello,
I consider this exhaust from Performancecoupe and i wonder if anyone know if this will gain any extra power? If, how much approximate?
The car is a 01` tiburon 1.6

almost all aftermarket cat backs will give you some added power considering they are less restrictive. the amount varies but its not like it will add more than 10. the gains are minimal

The stock system is so restrictive, that of course you are going to feel gains.
OEM exhaust I believe is 1.75" piping diameter full of crush bends and of course a very restrictive stock chamber muffler.
The KRD I believe is the same as the Motoria, which is what I have. It has 2.25" piping, smooth mandrel bends, and a straight thru muffler at the end.
You will feel gains from both of those catbacks, the HKS Sport Dragger exhaust though is an axle back, which only replaces a small portion of the exhaust, so gains will be minimal.
Keep in mind aftermarket exhausts are made to relieve some back pressure, and if you don't have other mods, such as an intake and a header, gains won't be as good.

Go with motoria. Great price, good welds, straight through muffler (comes with a silencer if you need it), and one hell of a sound. But remember that your headers will make all the difference in power (power range too) and noise level. But one step at a time...
