What's next?
I have the C/L induction kit with Brenspeed tune, now should I get pullys or the off road pype h-pipe from brenspeed next? Or should I say bump it and save up for some long tube headers? Motorhead professionals please entervene and tell me what I should do next? I'm afraid to go with a 4:10 gear because I have an extended warranty and I'm thinking it could work on my engine too hard. Then the dealership will not cover me.

The gears are always a good seat-of-the-pants feel, pully's are cheap. The Exhaust on these cars is really restricted. My choice, Get the Exhaust.

I'm not a mech. but manifolds aren't the same thing as headers big buddy. Manifold is what is on top of the engine. Headers are the pipes that come out of the engine.

i thought that the stock manifolds on the 05+ were pretty good... guess i had it backwards...

Well ain't I a dumbass

i guess you are not much of a mechanic... they are called exhaust manifolds... the "thing" on top is the intake manifold... headers are tubular... not a big peice of cast steel... or whatever they are made out of... just a little FYI... thought you "car guys" would just assume that... ill be more specific next time... big buddy...

RE: What's next?
Actually, I've heard from several sources that the factory stuff flows pretty well for stock. One company who did an independant test on the flowmaster axleback system (it was a magazine article, but i forget which one) said that the stock exhaust was good for about 400 horses. I don't know if it's true, but I do know a decent factory note when I hear it.
