More of both is better :). For the difference you will see it isn't going to give you a huge gain or hurt you either. The sound will make it feel like 15 more hp anyway.

Yes, It also said one could get up to 15-20 more hp. I think thats a fair amount of hp coming from the h pipes and right mufflers. I like that even if its the sound that makes it feel that way.:chacha:

I would say you would be very lucky to get anywhere near 10 hp from and entire exhaust system alone. I checked into an exhaust, intake and CAI upgrade, with tune, and found some data on a car similar to mine, and the hp gains from the whole package was 31 to the rear wheels.

Wow 31 hp to the rear wheels thats really something

Absolutely....the intake is close to $500, and the CAI with the tuner is almost $700, not to mention the headers/exhaust. I actually thought 31HP was kind of low for the amount it costs, but I guess not bad.

I was thinking like you (dangerous I know lol) and still think it's a little high for the return

I totally agree! I would rather spend a $1000+ on some nice stainless wheels. Unless you are racing your car at the track:D

Yeah that is dangerous.:lol But it does seem to take alot of $ to get HP. With these upgrades I mentioned, depending on brand, you're looking at spending about $65-$70 for every 1 HP gain.(to the wheels of course). Now compare that to a supercharger. Yeah you're paying a lot more for that upgrade, like about $7000 for a good Ford Racing, or Kenne Bell, but according to every Dyno test I've seen you're gaining about 250+ hp to the wheels, on this coyote engine anyhow. So that works out to about $25-$30 for every 1 HP gain. I know it seems like huge money, but it's also huge gains, for less than half the $/hp.:tup

I feel bad for the guys that do not have a plan as they tend to start over and over wasting big money
