On its own, generally no. But, if you combined it with decat center and downpipe, and then a remap, you could see anything from 30bhp - 50bhp increase on a standard uk turbo.

All ive got on my Classic uk is a Full afterburner exhaust system and it showed 259bhp on the rollers So the extra bhp must of come from somewhere

when you fit a free flowing exhaust system you find it causes extra gas flow through the turbos exhaust side which in turn causes a higher boost pressure.

more boost = more power.

turbo does spool up that little bitch quicker and yes u can feel it but its not like WOOWW HOLY ****, ya know? well worth the money though, it felt so nice and smooth too after the apexi map by andy, might not have given the car much hp but it was set up nicely...by the way i sold that and now i own a nice Toyota Supra Twin Turbo 6 speed which i have to say is some machine! and forget that top speed buzz with scoobies, they aint built for that and i never tool mine over 100 mph to be honest as the gears were so close she would be screaming her god damn head off on a motorway at 90mph!!

blitz nur spec r is cool but with a decat bloody loud and not cheap you could have a look at apexi (good not too noisey),HKS (just as good as blitz)maybe a little cheaper depending on where u look.
Ithink quite a few people pick the afterburner,ninja etc because they are good exhausts but slightly cheaper than the Japanese name brands

well the blitz is 100% stainless from cat to back box, most of the hks ones are mild steel and only the back box is stainless with the exception of the titanium one, i would deffo go with blitz man, spend the money, ive had them on 2 cars and will in future!!

www.revolution.eu.com or 0191 477 0785 for the Blitz or their own system which made +39BHP & 42lb.ft torque in back to back tests. *taken from website* on a classic IIRC.

Blitz is about £500-£600 depending on where you buy it.
But you are paying for possibly the best built exhaust ever.

What scooby version (wrx,sti or uk turbo) do you have because with the uk versions i think it removes a cat (still mot ok though) with the early Jap versions 93 or 94 get a decat as well (my 93 wrx comes up as a non cat test on the mot so i had a HKS decat fitted which removed the only cat on the car).
And no unfortunately i don't work for Blitz
