Pulled the trigger and drop her off to Lido yesterday to have Kooks LT's with catted x-pipe and a 3.0 pulley put on her. There's nothing worse than the down time! :banana2:

Nice upgrade, 50hp from the headers and who knows how much from the pulley.
Post up some pictures from underneath if you can get some.

I hope he baselines it before he installs headers so we can get an idea of power gains.

Good choice on the headers, whats the cost for the install.

Don't know if I will ever go long tubes ($$$), but definately want to go 2.5 w/ hiflow cats all the way back from the manifolds at some point.
Good luck with your upgrades. With the 3.0 pully, you will be in the 11lbs. boost range. This and the gains from the exhaust shoud give you a nice bump in HP.:burnout:

Baseline #'s before the new install (408 RWHP / 423 RWTQ). The rough cost est for the install will be around $2500 (give or take). With the current 3.2 pulley on the car it was making 11.5lbs. of boost, so it will be interesting what she makes when it's all said and done.

Wow 11.5lbs. on a 3.2? I thought thats what is shot for with the 3.0. But what the heck do I know...... From what I know about mine, its a 3.0 and running 11-11.5lbs boost. Will go for a tune if I do the upgrades you are doing, but until then I'm just gonna enjoy her as she sits.:D
Good luck with the project. I'd be interested in your "after" appraisel once everything is completed.:burnout:

$2500 for the install? or were the headers included in that price? $50 per HP is not too bad at todays prices provided that included the headers.
