Most aftermarket exhausts (especially ones like the FabSpeed GT2/SS) are much lighter than stock, and the weight comes off the very back. Thats' IMO enough to justify the mod even if power increase is zero.

That's a very good point. Weight is the enemy

Do we have any dyno data to validate the claims instead of just the 'feel' from the drivers?

It should be obvious if one can look at the before (X50 exhaust) and after curves.
