Default pacesetter lts/ory gains?

all i'm running for exhaust right now is an open cutout in the I-pipe. I'm installing some pacesetter longtube headers and ory next week, and was wondering how much of a rwhp gain I can expect,, and also how noticeable the sound/performance difference will be. i also have a lid, 3400 stall, and tranny cooler.

thanks

20 or so is definately a good $/hp value,, sounds like this'll have been a very cost-efficient mod

1-3/4" pacesetter coated longtube headers into a 3" pacesetter offroad y-pipe (catless). pacesetter is supposedly good bang for your buck. i'll def let you know how they work out

it will throw a code if you dont do something with your o2's-i.e. sims or getting it tuned out. also if you pull the a.i.r. system off i think it throws a code for that. it wont hurt anything-just have a stupid light staring at your face.

also you should be happy with pacesetters, i havent heard any complains really thats why i used them and then went in great for me!
