Need sound clips. Are there any HP gains from this? Or losses?

Gain yes but don't know how much just going by how it feels.

all they did was making pipe coming out from the exhaust from drive side and make a single pipe and route to the passenger side.. there is a place where you can put exhaust hanger on the passenger side when you take the bottom panel off...

OP... looks like your passenger tip is little higher than driver side from that picture..

VID requested asap..!!!!!

Really? Because Eloy from RPI told me over the phone that putting quads on an inline six surely will cause HP loss, not gain. Who did the R&D for this Umnitza exhaust? What is the brand/manufacturer (I could not find this information on their website)?

Looks great. It's always been my understanding that quads do not gain and generally lose some power. But they sure do look good.
