Long tubes and some hi-flow mini cats might pass sniffer, but if you have visual your screwed.

And I think the better name for a pro chamber would be "pro chamber exhaust crossover" as its not an H pipe.

Mac website:http://www.macperformance.com/store/...ategory_ID=469
Pro chamber has its own section. You can stop trying

Anyway:
Shorties are going to give you almost 0 gain, Long tubes will give you a 5-8hp ish gain.

Every mod under 300$ is going to give you around that hp....
Letting your engine breathe better is your benefit from long tubes, or you can keep the stockers. Your going to pay 250$ for a pro chamber + the money to have it fabbed up right?

Maybe so, but still you dont see how 300$ for long tubes is worth it...
The 250$ for a prochamber is gonna net you 1-2hp maybe....
or you may not gain anything from it.

Aha,
Well your probably still going to need some fab work to connect the pro chamber to the headers. From the outlet to the mufflers should be easy.

However I would take that 250$ add a few more and buy an xcal

You can adjust some things yourself....

I'm pretty sure you get 3 tunes with that so you can have 3 different setups now, and you can always get different tunes from VMP. Plus if you ever go to get your car dynoed you already have the tuner. Much better investment than a pro chamber.

Long tube headers
Exhaust (some catback, magnaflow would be better for power)
* You don't need a mid pipe (h/x/pro)
UDP
CAI
Split Port Swap
H/C/I
Rockers
Nice Tune


That MAY get you to 250rwhp....

Because you don't need one? I ran straight pipes forever (no mid pipe back to the mufflers a.k.a divorced duals)... I don't understand why you think you do need one.

Its just like the rest of the chambered mufflers... It doesn't flow very well
