Seems like when posts are made about exhausts and/or intakes, the talk is all about the sound it makes instead of power gains and I know that's because the sounds are more significant than the actual gains..

I'm still curious as to power though...
Estimated gains for all power mods are as follows

Exhaust: ~7hp
Intake: +/- ~5hp (depending on which intake you get)
Midpipe: ~2hp
Headers: ~20hp
Supercharger: ~60hp

Thats pretty much it.

My car is about as maxed out NA as you can go.

I've got ppe headers, custom exhaust, custom intake, mapecu3 tuner, polished TB and lower intake manifold.

Running a safe afr around 12.2 at redline I'm putting down 298whp and 278tq. I've also bumped timing about 4 degrees starting from 4500rpm to redline. It seems to like it.

I'd say you guys should just go take your cars to the drag strip now & see what kind of times you'd run. You guys will probably post up some of the better numbers since not too many people here have PPE headers. Report back & do us proud ...don't forget about the sticky tires!
