Info on HP gain from Japanese Aftermarket Parts

I gather some info from the Japanese manufacturers on their performance parts.

Most claim 10-13 HP gain from their cat-back exhaust system.

High flow cat gets 5 HP.

Tubular Header gets 4-7 HP

Stock ECU reflash with new map: 6 HP (12.3 a/f under full throttle)

Below are the weights of the cat-back exhaust sytem:

HKS: 20.1 kg (44.3 lbs)
Greddy: 15.9 kg (35 lbs)
Autoexe: 18.2 kg (40 lbs)
FEED: 18.5 kg (40.7 lbs)
R magic: 16.6 kg (36.7 lbs) (13 HP gain)
RE Amemiya:18.1 kg (39.9 lbs)
Knight Sports: 17.7 kg (39 lbs) (11.5 HP gain)
JIC stainless: 17.8 kg (39.2 lbs)

I see the GReddy is the lightest but has no HP gain beside it. Is that because there is no gain, or is it because they don't claim, or haven't yet claimed any gains?

When I strapped my Greddy on I saw no HP increase (actually a 3HP decrease, but thats small enough to have been weather, temp, or anything else).
