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

 

anybody?

 

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

 

thanks man, i needed that info.. really do appeciate it thanks

 

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

 

those are some damn good #'s .. thanks a lot guys i will surely take a look into the pacesetters and kooks etc. thanks!
