Don't get the throttle body, waste of money and nothing but trouble, it will add nothing to your hp. With this set up you should add about 25 rwhp with 93 oct. tune. Add either some gears or aluminum drive shaft. They won't add hp but will add to your over all performance.

+1 on the throttle body. not needed until you've got 500+whp.

as far as pulleys there is no mistake steeda has the best one and most people on here run them that arent FI,stay away from the throttle body from bbk a lot of people had a lot of issues with it,get the throttle body from the gt500 with the spacer for the GT i believe JDM engineering sells the kit. the bbk intake is okay but your are better off with a demolet,c &L,jlt (something that needs a tune). bbk exhaust well i never heard anyone with s197 running it so I have no opinion on it my favs are corsa,bassani,borla in that order.

Have fun modding!!

no to the UDP if you are going FI later, you will have to go back to stock pulleys with most FI setups
i have BBK LT's and o/r x pipe, its a good cheap headers and x pipe but if you want the ***** best go with Kooks, ARH, or Mac
any setup as long as its not straight pipe will be under 120 db
my current setup hit 126 db on the dyno in a garage, outside i bet its not as loud.

I wouldn't want to drive a car with a 120db exhaust anyway

I just put on my pypes muffler delete axle back last night and I really like it. aggressive sound and not too loud. I metered it and it's under 100db in the car, haven't metered it outside the car yet.

Long tubes, shorty's are worthless for making power.
