Longtubes, and OFFROAD Midpipe and a Catback should add at least 30 RWHP. If I had the money I'd do it.. Will prob need a tune after that though..

I don't know, but remember dyno numbers are just a tool to go by, not gospel... My car is putting down 251 rwhp/299 rwtq with the mods in my sig, minus the catback... I recently put the catback on...

No it wouldnt... maybe maybe with a dyno tune. I'd say 25 with a dyno tune.

It will definitely need a tune. Mine ran like crap for weeks until I got a tune. A/F was a bit off and my 02 sensors were not getting up to temperature fast enough which kept throwing MILs left and right. Once I got it tuned and the 02s delayed, my car ran great.

Long tubes are definitely worth it. If you decide to do it yourself, take your time and do the research before you start. Do it right the first time (any leaks will drive you mad).

longt ubes are worth it for the poswer and sound but like some said you will need to do more than just an exhaust and intake so see some real gains. the more you mod the more optimal performance you are going to see with your headers I love mine and they really helped after i rebuilt my motor sound great plenty of power

haha good choice, me and my 2 friends did mine ourselves. took about 10-12 hrs, but it was our first time and it was fun. No leaks runs great, havnt gottena Dyno Tune yett. But i felt the LT's over all the other bolt ons. now startin about 3-3500k my car pulls Hard to redline. and soudns nice. Soo hands down the best mod 2 do. besides motor Wrk and F/I ofcoarse :-)
