if you already have OFT then catless headers plus E85 fuel, the open flash header will be hard to beat on bang for buck as you get discount on it as you have purchased oft.

leave intake alone , put in a good quality drop in filter if you like, rest of exhaust produces little gain once you change headers, just do other exhaust mods if you want sound change, catless headers alone will make it louder. this is for NA car.

For the sake of discussion. What kind of gains will a well rounded NA set-up (Catless Header/Full Exhaust) gain you in conjunction with a Vortech or Innovative kit later down the road vs stock exhaust components ? Haven't really seen that discussed yet, just lost of speculation.

That setup is basicly the OFT 300 setup vortech 9psi on 93 pump gas was about 285 wheel hp from memory as oposed to about 168 whp stock on same dyno check out the openflash site http://www.openflashtablet.com/Autom...300/index.html

Talking wheel horsepower

Tune no headers about 10 hp maybe slightly more

tune plus headers maybe 20 hp or so

tune plus headers plus e85 possibly 35 hp

just headers no tune maybe 5 to 8 hp

it not all about the top end hp, tunes headers e85 all produce gains throught the rpm range andd better torque which is what this car needs

you can get OFT plus tunes plus the headers for just over $1000 and run e85 or petrol and pick up about 35 wheel hp , not bad bang for buck

You can buy oft and ofh in one transaction and still get discount, you will also save on freight as they can chuck in the oft in header box
