make sure that you get ceramic coated, egr provisions, and 02 extensions they offer it all there.

That is absolutely everything
Thanks, man. I'll see if one of the TS&P guys on here can hook me up with a good price. Now, I just need to know how much the installation and tune will cost me.

honestly, I have a 99 auto and i did longtubes with 3in duals and the car learned it very well. before that i did a LS6 intake swap and had the same outcome, car idled high at first but after driving it around she calmed down and learned the extra air it was getting.

The auto cars tend to have a better learning curve when it comes to increased air flow and velocity. my car untuned with longtubes and a LS6 intake put down 343hp/343tq....

so really if you can't afford the tune now, about 20-30 min of driving the car around using all the RPM's to give the computer as much info as possible and the car will run fine.

just a thought.

my car is still untuned and she holds her own, drives great, and gets 26mpg

Yea you don't need to spend the money for a tune, like the postman said your computer will do a little adjusting and thats all you need, you won't even notice a difference. Any shop is going to charge you like 300-350 bucks for the install, might as well do them yourself it's very easy.

It helps and it will get you hp but it's not completely needed unless your running extremely rich for an extended period of time. In the end you will need a tune to take full advantage of all your bolt ons

I just thought a lower mile car would be a better base. No matter what you have done to it, it still has 138k miles and that doesn't look good for re-sale, but obviously he isn't selling it so it doesn't matter. I don''t know why I brought that up so forget I said it.
