Default RE: headers

I dont know what kind of money U want to spend but as already stated good LTs are 1K plus.

So if you want cheaper. CMDPs are good for 10ish HP some say 15 and cost <100$. UDPs cost <200$ and are good for 10ish hp.

Good info from vsop and Riven

There isn't much you can do for the intake aside from a CAI and CMCP delete. Like vsop said, there's a manifold in the works, but it's not out yet and only time will tell if it actually can deliver decent gains.

You can get aftermarket throttle bodies, but these are reknowned for causing trouble. Do a forum search and you'll be able to read the horror stories firsthand. The HP gains are minimal (if any at all) and the chance of having trouble with check-engine lights or even limp mode is 90% or more.

The exception is that if you have some serious mods like ported heads or cams, THEN a new throttle body is beneficial, but you have do be very far down "mod road" at that point, and you need an expert tuner.
