Do you want me to scan for you my dyno graphs showing 62.4kW ATW stock, and then 84.6kW ATW after Intake, header and exhaust?
I will however point out that I had more useable performance when my peak power was at 75.8kW, as it was focused lower in the rev range and much more friendly to live with...

So are you saying that a 15-20kW increase is not necessarily the limit to what can be achieved young Andywan?

well.. wait and see...
the limiting factor is going to be cams. but 20kW isnt out of the question once the racing headers are built.

Do some reading

have a look at what racing headers do to other 2L 4cyl motors....

entirely possible

to say you're going to get 2kW out of an exhaust system at most is just.....silly. Our friends over at the toyota owners club forums will show you dyno graphs of what a properly designed MANDREL BENT catback *alone* will do (9kW, on average for the sportivo - CES Catback. go have a look at the CES website and take a peak).
