spend the money on a computer programer, good way to add like 20hp's. most of them are about 350 to 400.

The cat-back is not where the power is UNLESS you are still running the sh!tty 2.25" factory tail pipes. What would be the point of headers and the O/R midpipe (all 2.5", i'm assuming) if it can't breathe through the slowmasters and crappy tailpipes.

Jeez. Just get some bigger, mandrel bent stuff on there at least. [8D]

Try like 10, at most, on a near stock car


Changing out your catback to a straight through design will yeild better exhaust flow and slightly better performance. Seeing as you have weld in flows I would recommend getting a catback system before headers.
