Yes you should get an O/R X... The x will make about 1-2 more hp but will sound hollow. The H pipe will have a bit more resonance but have a more agressive tone. You desission. GO on you tube and find the set up you want.

The only headers worth a crap are Longtubes, don't bother with shorties. If you go longtubes you need a new midpipe. If you're not sure what you want to do then you can get an SLP or bassani x, they're both modular so they work with the stock manifolds and you can upgrade to longtubes without needing to get a shorty midpipe.

headers are nice but you'll have to go longtubes to get any real gains... and yes you would want a new mid pipe[8D] whether you go O/R or Catted & H or X

K so i just bought these mods right now after the slp loudmouth II catback. I got A BBK CAI and BBK longtubes with x pipe. I can install the CAI and catback myself. But does anyone know how much it might cost to put the headers and x pipe on. I dont want to do it myself. Too much sh** to deal with.And once all is installed what am i looking at performance, throttle response, and hp?

If you can do the catback install, you can do the X-Pipe install. It is easy. You have to wigle your hands into tight places, but it can be done with little hassle. Just get a friend to help you out.

yeah, I agree if you can do the catback the midpipe isn't bad. Longtubes are another story. All in all, id say you'll pick up 20-30rwhp.
