i would just save the money your not going to see that big of a difference on either, and get an intake....but long tubes will def. give you more power

your best bet is to save up your money and buy long tubes off road mid pipe and a cat back. you will see some good power gains there

Long tubes will net you more HP.

Off-topic but I noticed you have "m5" next to your car description. Ive seen this other places. what does it mean.
