i currently have stock manifolds and a pypes x-pipe. i like the sound/rasp of it, or should i say i am ok with it. i am mostly looking for "the most power". i will be ordering my LT's this weekend so i am tossing around the following combos.
chrome mac headers 390, PC 460 totaling 850 at AM
ceramic mac headers 520, "brenspeed x" for 255 (assuming bbk? but says made by mac) totaling 775 at brenspeed
ceramic pacesetters 480, h-pipe 165 (i do not see a combo deal with the ceramic) totalling 645 at stage3
now i assume i might be able to pic up the chrome macs from AM and the x-pipe from brendspeed i dont know for sure though. that could get me down to 645.
now, the PC i know sounds the best in my opinion, but realistically how much hp am i really giving up? i like the sound, but the added cost plus the (very little) lose of power makes it not looking to go for that option. then you have the pacesetters that i read you can get for 525, but im coming up with 645? is there a coupon code for MM members? the potential lose of power there might be worth the 205+ in savings. then again i can possibly piece together the mac LT's from AM and get the mid pipe from brenspeed, but they do not have it listed by itself. i based my "assumption of it being bbk" because it fits the price if you bought just the x-pipe.
lastly, as of now i am NA but plan to get a whipple HO in 1-2 years. will the 1 3/4" headers cause more lose of low end than the 1 5/8" for the time being?
