seems kind of expensive to me. 3100 for a change in exhaust? you'll pick up what, maybe 10-15 horses over the CAI and tune you already have?

headers were pretty expensive...1400.00 with xpipe

so headers and xpipe only give you 15hp?

I heard long tube headers are good for25 horses which I believe you will be grinning after all you have the CAI. Get the pullys too. I have them and I can feel a difference. I'm thinking in the far future of getting my cylinder heads re ported. I heard that is good for 35 horses to the wheels and is about 1500 dollars. I just saw the 3100 dollars there. If you can renig I would, I believe they are over charging you.

The headers and exhaust should be good for another 25-30 hp. Make sure it is tuned well. Long Tubes + install = expensive

My thoughts exactly. For 500 bucks or so, 25hp is nice. But for $3100, doesent seem too great.

I mean if you already bought the parts, good luck and I hope you enjoy them.

If you didnt, and have plans of supercharging, you may want to reconsider.

I mean looking at it from a blank slate. A intake, tune, full exhaust, UDP, etc run what 4 grand? And make like 320 RWHP.

A supercharger is 5 grand, and can make around 450 RWHP. Big nut to swallow, and of course it is 5 grand installing it yourself. But 3100 doesent seem too bang for the buck ish. But it will probably sound great.

long tube install= easy if you have a jack and some hand tools, plus a free weekend
