How much horsepower does a downpipe add to a BMW?
A downpipe will give you power and torque gains (somewhere in the range of 10-20 PS) with or without MPPK. Depends on the definition of "negligible". If 15-20PS are negligible, then yes. People claiming hp gains with no tuning changes need to post some proof.

Does downpipe increase speed?
It may marginally increase top speed if the engine has sufficient power. Most modern cars have a high final gear so the extra gearing through bigger tyres might cause the engine to struggle. Bigger tyres, whether fatter or higher will weigh more thus decreasing acceleration and speed.

Does straight pipe give you more HP?
Benefits of Straight Pipe Systems
Also, with less back pressure, the engine produces more horsepower and torque. Many drivers who race their cars see this as the primary reason to install straight pipes. Your vehicle will accelerate faster and reach higher speeds with a straight pipe system.
