Mod help??
Looking to add Corsa pace car exhaust and X-pipe plus blackwing breather. Anyone know how much horsepower this will give me over stock on a 2000 coupe. Or if throttle response will improve.

I basically have this same setup only with B&B exhaust and a Bassani X-pipe. You might get 5-10 HP and the throttle response is noticable.

Have the Blackwing with GHL's and Magnaflow X-Pipe. The throttle response and seat of the pants feeling is greatly improved. The exhaust sounds make driving much more enjoyable. Next, I will do a cold air mod, throttle body polish and an LS1 edit. After that cam, springs, and headers which will add significant Horse Power. Then heads, clutch, brakes, suspension. This is a progressive disease and it's easy to reach a tolerance, so it takes more and more and more to satisfy.

I have had my C5 Vert MN6 for almost 2 months.....
borla stingers, vararam, and RoJa rims/tires on 19's all the way around....
Can't stop.
Head/cam on the way....
Headers/x-pipe probably not too long after.....
To answer your question....whatever mods you add....they claim to add hp, but keep in mind rwhp and hp at the crank are two different things....
air intake will give you more hp vs. the exhaust....20 hp at the wheels is my estimate w/ the exhaust and intake....(vararam will give you more than the blackwing)
