RE: headers and xpipe help

Full headers and X pipe will pick you up maybe 20-25 hp. If you get a catback then you can see up to 30+ hp. That was on my GT. You have the 4V, so you may see better gains. Ceramic is the way to go though. Less heat in the engine bay and they wont corrode either.

Ditto on the ceramic tubes, they are the bomb. Just put in on your calendar to keep em' tight monthly. Lighter than hell too.

RE: headers and xpipe help

you forgot about that awesome sound thats gonna be erupting out of those pipes. My shorties, which dont compare to LT's gave me a much more aggressive tone. I love it.

HEY JD. if you say 30rwhp on the gt with full exhaust, how much did i gain with shorties x and catback. Is it 20 at the wheels, or more like 15?
