Default Headers, X-pipe, Air induction

Hello I am going to install long tube headers,X-pipe, straight pipes to the mufflers, Vortex ram air filter and a true complex Dyno test and tune this weekend on my 2002.

Has anyone done this and what kind of HP/holeshot should I expect.[/

I installed the American Racing 1-7/8" Long-tube headers, X-pipe, and 2 high-flow cats. At the same time, I installed a Vararam cold air intake.

I had a dyno run before the mods. I have a 99 with an A4 tranny. I clocked 275 HP bone stock.

After the mods, and without a tune, I clocked 307 HP.

So, I gained 32 HP with my bolt-ons.

I left my stock mufflers in place also...
