Seems to me LG pros are the popular choice. Streets for the bugget minded.

I just put a set of Dynatech LT on. The Headers and catted x-pipe ran me about $1500. I did the install myself to save some money. I don't have any numbers yet but I am expecting around 400 rwhp after a tune. I have an 03 so you might be a little shy of 400 with an 01.

Thanks guys i checked out lgs site and the street series are what im going with. I just have a question, On the website theres and option for either the standard system or just the heads with no pipes. Im assuming that means no x pipe??. And is there really a need for the xpipe?

After these mods what else can I do to bring me to 400rwhp.
I think a cam and heads would be the next logical steps. The street model LG's are good if you plan no further mods but it sounds like you have the "fever" and should consider the Pro version. Don't forget the all important tune that should be done regardless of where your at or where your going. You could probably get by with a stock x-pipe but the more you do the faster you go (theoretically).

ur best bet is AR headers i think ECS installs them for like 1800 u cant beet that. plus lg pros are probably the best but there like 2k not installed and for the horsepower ur going to get out of them its not worth all the money unless u have a crazy race motor and ur looking to get every ounce of hp u can.....good luck!
