So what are the hp gains you get with LTs as opposed to shorty headers on a car with a CAI/tune already on it?

I had mine for awhile now, and quite honestly- other then changing the tone of the exhaust, it really dosen't feel like it added that much power at all. It's mostly throttle response if anything lol..

I will attest to the CAI/tuner and gears that everyone else is saying. This alone netted me at least a 1/2 second drop in my 1/4 mile times and I gained 4 MPH to 104. Before these mods, I ran a 14.1@100 and now I am running 13.6@104. I hope to get that down more at a better track with better conditions.

I see a lot of mentions about the Kooks LT headers. They are around $1350 +/- for the setup with catted H or X pipe and slightly cheaper with an O/R X or H. I have begun to see a lot of new threads about the new Pypes headers. They are supposed to be identical replicas of the Kooks from what I understand and the are around $700 +/-. Brenspeed says they fit great on their website.

ditto.. my stock was a pathetic 14.4@99ish.. gears and CAI/tune made the MOST difference.
