from my experience, I will attest to the norm of approx. $ 100 - $125 a HP. even those k&n cool air kits etc.. never gain what is claimed by the manf. Biggest bang for the buck in my opinion is a hot chip, lower gears and any method of effective cooling of fuel mixture . Of course my experience is mostly in N A motors both 2 and 4 wheel

Headers look cool; sound good and at least gave some increase. If people are intent on doing Bassani or JBA level exhaust work then at least go with something that makes power.

I was told by one tuner before I did this that you will not see alot but it is the only system that will give you anything. He was right again.

All stock here......

12.86......

I think I am going to install 2 old Maxwell House cans on the end to improve sound and performance. A guy at the Import shop says that should get me 43 HP if I apply the stickers as well...

Stock is pretty sweet...Just a tad quite...
