Longtube Headers + mid pipe vs. Intake manifold
 
Hello all. What do you guys think would make more power on an 02 GT, a new intake manifold (professional products, trickflow etc..) or long tube headers and a new mid pipe (bbk, slp etc..) My only current mods are a Magnaflow cat-back exhaust, Diablosport tuner, MGW short shifter and FRPP 4.10 gears.

Thanks

Long tubes hands down unless your had a blower or serious heads and cam upgrades an intake upgrade isnt worth it.

Long Tubes and exhaust!!!!!!

I agree with those guys.

Ditto....but even with the LT's, hard to gain too much unless you have a PA. Regardless, you should pick-up about 20 hp.

Awesome, thanks guys. 20hp sounds good to me! Will I have to get a tune when I put them in?

No, you do not have to get a tune after LT's. Might need to buy some MIL's.

You should get a tune. My car ate up gas like crazy after having the headers installed. I got 35mi to a 1/4 tank. The tune fixed all of that and I knew that it was safe to beat on it without causing any damage.

What else was done to it?

Really? After I threw on my Hookers, I was getting better mileage, especially when I threw the cats on.
