QTP's with HVMC's will net you 5-10 or more rwhp than pacesetters. it's been proven in the dyno section. one guy with H/C gained 8-9 rwhp peak and 12rwhp/30rwtq at 3100 rpm's just by swapping from pacesetters to QTP's alone.
if you get a cheaper header like pacesetter on a stock internals motor, expect 20-25 rwhp. if you get a better header like QTP or ARH, expect 25-30 rwhp. if you get a tune, expect another 7-10 rwhp for that on top of the headers.
if you have heads or/and a cam, expect the numbers to be significantly higher.
it only took me about6-7 hrs to install me PS long tubes, y pipe and magnaflow catback. my friend helped a lot but i only paid 1030 for everything from jegs. my y pipe does hit the floor board though. I plan on fixing that soon. should be easy cause it a common prob and there are lots of posts about it. look it up...

A set of stainless Hooker LT's w/ stainless y-pipe would run in the $17-1800 area with install and tune. Use a set of Hooker ceramic coated long tubes instead of stainless and you are talking in the $15-1600 area parts, labor and tune.
You start looking at Dynatech and American Racing stainless long tubes with cats and you can get into the $2000 area easily with parts, labor and tune. They are both top notch quality as well as Kooks.
I can see a set of coated Pacesetters with parts, install and tune being as low as $1300 or so depending on where you go. I am not a dealer and refuse to sell them I have done several install and tuned several more with them on them.
I am not a big fan of Pacesetters as I have seen several fitment issues with them hitting the floor boards, oxygen senosr on the passenger side hitting an A4 trans pan and the less then desireable "cut and butt connect" oxygen sensor extension setup. This is not to say they may not perform as well or as close to as well as the Hooker package, but the Hooker packages fit much better and the quality is higher with the Hooker components and even better with the Dynatech, American Racing and Kooks. You get what you pay for.
If you want an exact price, just send me an e-mail or PM and I will check everything Monday at the shop for you. Hope this helps.
