Oh damn, I thought you already had an intake and tune. In that case, save up for those first.

Keep saving.... get the CAI + SCT tuner when you can.... JMHO
I completely agree. You will get a nice sound from the o/r pipe, but with those 2 mods you will MAYBE see 10rwhp. Just $200 more will get you a JLT and SCT setup from Brenspeed and 25-35rwhp!

get a SCT vmp tune first, that way, when you do do gears, you can correct the speedo and are all set up

You can do what I did and look for a used intake and sct tuner and then get a custom tune from one of the more popular tuners. I got my setup for $225 and paid $75 for the custom tuning.

Save your money and get the cai and tune. More bang for the buck and your thrill level will grow exponentially.

If you've already gone from $150 to $350, then another couple hundred won't be too much of a stretch.
Patience, Grasshopper.

I think I'm gonna hold off and wait until I have about $1200 or so, that away I can get the CAI/tune = $650, the UDP's = $200, the o/r h-pipe = $175, and the 4.10's = $160, so that is about $1185 + tax, so alittle over $1200, but then I can get everything installed except 4.10's and then wait a couple months and get the 4.10's installed.

Oh really, I did not know that. I guess its probably a different sound with a 2v and 3v. Because my 2v has 1 chambered Flows and an o/r h-pipe and I love the sound and get complimented all the time by guys asking me what kind of exhaust I have. I've heard an o/r x-pipe with Flows and I think it sounds like ***. I'll probably just get the o/r h-pipe and if I like the sound with the Flows than I'll keep it, but if not I'll get SLP axleback or Magnaflow Magnapacks. Thanks for the heads up though.
