Well it's that time to figure out what to do to my 05. Kinda torn between going with headers or swapping out the intake to a fast 102. I currently have vararam with a tune and the magnaflow 15282 catback. What do you guys think would yield the better output numbers?

Probably both with ported throttle body?

But what will yield the biggest hp gain results? I have seen some threads claiming to get 30-40hp just by replacing or porting the ls2 intake. Headers will yield 15-20? Thanks for the feedback
