exhaust vs. rearend

[whitefirebird96]

I was thinking of splurging a little and was wondering for time and money vs. gains if it would be better to get Pacesetter ceramic headers, ypipe, and 2.5 inch exhaust, hi flow cat, dynomax bullet muffler and dual outlet muffler with quad tips or should I get a 3.42 rear end with lsd and drum to disk swap from tacreationsusa.com. Btw, I have a 96 T5 firebird

definatley exhaust if your planning on doing the whole thing.

[vanbibber]

finish the exhuast up and save up for the lsd and brake conversion. even though you probably do the rear for less money.

Would full exhaust be good for about 15 - 20 gained HP?

A full exhaust including headers, hi-flo cat, and cat-back would gain at least 15 bhp, it might even be 15 to the wheels... Add a CAI or some sort of intake set up and you could have about ~18 rwhp.

I have CAI, with stock exhaust is the mod almost null and void?

My next mod will be full exhaust, I'm not touching the exhaust until I have headers, hi flow cat, and catback...

well I have already converted my car to the ram air hood and it is functional, so can I expect 18-20 rwhp with pacesetter ceramic headers and y pipe, magnaflow hi flow cat 3"/2.5", dynomax 18" bullet muffler, and 2.5" exhaust all the way back

get slp loudmouth it sounds wonderfully loud with headers and hi flo cat. imo [img]smile.gif[/img]
