Not just the headers... maybe the whole exhaust run in true dual fashion. Fbodies come with a Y pipe so a true dual exhaust and headers would really open one up.

LT headers, X pipe and a straight through catback is worth 20-30 hp on a stang.

No way that is right. Shorties may give you 7-8 rwhp and long tubes can give you around 10-15 rwhp. Depending on other mods you have it could be a little more.

His Camaro has over 340 cubes. Our 4.6's have 281....we don't respond to mods quite as well. A full exhaust setup should net you 30hp.

I have seen dyno numbers on a stock 4.6 with an SLP catted x pipe and SLP Loudmouth...19 rwhp and 21 rwtq.

I don't see 30hp coming from a 96 though, maybe a 99+ but thats flywheel hp

Hmmm. Something to look into. How much would all that cost? Materials and installation.

The Maro can get those numbers from exhaust. Especially LS1s.[&:]
