  • What to do next?

    I've done the exhuast mod. What should I do next... New CAT? Headers? If I do the headers how much HP will I gain with the Borla Exhuast already installed? Or should I stick with the method of working from the rear to the front and just install the new CAT?

    I'm not sure you NEED a new cat, but Iguess it couldn't hurt. If it were me, I would go ahead and get the headers out of the way.

      You will notice more horsepower with the headers. Besides, nothing beats the sound! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

        do cat and headers at the same time, less hassle. make sure u do some more intake mods to take advantage of the free flowing exhaust, like a ram air or cold air intake, removing the maf screen, maybe a bigger bore TB, ect.

            it's that little screen u see when u take off ur whisper lid, right inside the TB. there's a little C-clip that holds it in there, pull out the c-clip by pushing the ends together, and then gently pry out the MAF screen. on, and make sure the car has been running at operating temps for a while, it'll help expand the maf housing and make it easier for the screen to come out. Dominic did this to his firebird b4 it got wrecked, and he saw 5 rwhp and 10 twtq gains from it.

              You could remove the maf screen. Keep in mind though some of things people experience with it. Some say rough idle and things like that occur. I did it on mine and nothing happened. I did feel a lil better response on how it accelerated.

                Try the Super Sucker Ram Air(SSRA). It picked up 13rwhp on my SS at the dyno over the stock set up.
