Default #'s to expect

Hey guys. new to the forum. I have a 97 v-6 and plan on selling it soon for a 02 SS.. just wanted to ask a few questions.

Let's say the SS is BONE STOCK. What RWHP should i be expecting with these mods..

1. SLP cold air intake
2. SLP loud mouth 1
3. Y pipe no cats
4. Headers (anybody know a good make for them?)

Will i get a lot of rasp and back firing with the non catted y pipe?
And one more thing.. can somebody explain what a exhaust cut out does?
Help a noob out please

cutout is basically installed someone in the catback that is kinda in a Y shape, its pretty small and you can open the side that isnt connected with the catback (if you can picture what im saying) and it basically makes a short path for the exhaust to go out. instead of going all the way back it goes out right after the headers

Check out the exhaust faq for answers to anything you need as far as the bolt-on's are concerned. Expect 335-340 to the wheels after all the bolt-ons you described.

With the LM you will get quite a bit of rasp with an ORY, it's just the nature of the LM, as far as what headers to get, if you've got the money, a set of stainless Kooks, or QTPs would be a good selection (they'll cost ya tho, figure $1000, or more, after headers and Y) If you have a more modest budget, a set of coated Pacesetters, and TSP Y will only set you back about $500
335-345hp to wheels should be what you get (or there about)

Get a set of pacesetters and then throw a tsp rumbler X dual set up on it. Call it a day. You will be at least 340-350 at the wheels then
