How much HP will I add... So I just ordered Pacesetter Long tube headers and an off road 3" y-pipe... How much hp do you ballpark it is over a stock setup? I already have Borla catback, so we'll be using that still.

On a serious note, Thats the best first mod in my opinion. Get the exhaust squared away and pick up your 20-25 hp. You can drive around on the stock tune with no truoble.
When the exhaust is done, that opens the doors for what ever cam/intake package you want to do (within reason that is).
Gotta make it breathe before you start moding the crap out of it.
Once you get your intake, cam and whatever...then have it tuned and then it all clicks together!

Ya, I'll have my full exhaust done tomorrow. I have the SLP air lid already...so now I figure I need a decent intake mani (LS6?) and possibly throttle body? Then after that's done I'll get a custom ground cam + tune. I'll definitely want subframe connectors and lowering springs by then. You think with all of that it'll put down 400whp? I want to do 400+whp all motor, then I'll consider a little juice for those emergencies haha.
