I went with ARH 1 7/8" (headers, xpipe, etc), install was 300 and tune was 400 after install.
I got a street tune after, so don't know HP increase. Could def feel the power though and the sound difference is awesome!!!

I agree sounds high $$$ surely a result of our "corvette tax" Even some of the best hdr packages are only $1200. which include an X pipe--extentions maybe $50 installation 4 hours --$300 -- Hi flows can range between $120 to $400--so that makes about -- Tune should be at the most only $450--
I would go with only 1 3/4 " on a stock cubed motor or for a motor revving up to 6200 or less--Too large and you will lose bottom end--
I like the TSP hdrs--I would also ditch the hi-flow cats--The maybe extra 5 HP isn't worth the money--
Hdrs i would spend about $900
x-pipe (magniflow universal) $150
Extentions $50
labor (4 hours) $300
Dyno & driveability tune $450
TOTAL $1800

I paid 1300 for headers, high flow cats, x pipe, bolts, clamps from LG (streets btw)
$130 for new O2 sensors, did not really need.
spark plugs $4 each I think (ngk tr55)
$450 dyno tune
exhaust gaskets, tail pipe and header around $30 total
Band aids - $2 (couple of tight spots getting things in and out)
My wife enjoyed helping, priceless.
As far as HP gains, 20-30 is typical. Most don't really know cause most don't have a tune before you put the headers on and you don't know how much is just picked up in the tune itself.
good luck
