Most give roughly 15hp at peak, with increased power everywhere in the band.

I have coated TPIS on my car, they sound really good and were fairly easy to install.

Headers and gears are the best things to do if you don't want to crack open the engine

Thanks for the reply. I have a chance to get ahold of some Pace Setters. Should I do it? :flag

The shorty headers don't give hardly any gain at all. If you going to go through the trouble and expense go with a set of Long Tubes. You won't regret it

Shortys are not much different from the stock manifolds, they give 5-7hp. Thats a waste of money to me.

Longtubes are where the power is, that i referred to above.
