ls6 intake vs headers

was wondering what would benefit me more, the ls6 intake or lt headers and off road y pipe?

i got a 99 trans am a4, with borla cb, free mods, and tuned by frost tune.

Def headers and y an ls6 intake will be for about 12hp up top headers and a y should yield close to 20hp maybe even 25-30 with a tune and a catback.

Well you'll likely see more gains from the headers and y-pipe but it will be more expensive than the intake because those intakes can usually be found for a reasonable price on these forums.

spend your money on the headers, and y pipe. then save up for a fast intake instead of an LS6 intake.

If you're not worried aboutprice then why not do both? You could get it all done for about $900 using TSP headers an ORY and a used LS6. That's about 35whp which is a pretty dang good bang for the buck.
