meth vs header and d/p

i only have the money to buy one or the other right now. i'm going to run 60s with a 2.8 pulley, CAI, Cobra h/e, and magnaflow catback. so will i get more power with the meth or header and d/p

any #s to back up vote would be appreciated

just save your money and get all three...

i've always been a fan of getting a tune after EVERYTHING is done.

You put more air in, you need to get more air out.

header/dp will give you more power. meth is just a cooling mod really

i'd go with all three. i think you can wait a little longer and save up for all of them. i mean do you absolutely 100% need to buy one of them at this exact point in time?? probably not

Listen to exsoccer. He HAD both header and do plus meth but the meth proved to work. Look at his dyno charts. It kept the same power with all 3 pulls.

well to help you save money, header and downpipe. because you won't be tuning for it. and then when you get the meth and the tune you'll be able to really see gains from the exhaust

dp and header will deff give more power, meth = cooling mod. it will give you power aswell but not nearly as much as the combo

yea, i bought the car with the 2.5 cat back on it. would a full 2.5 exhaust be much worse? cause 270 sounds good to me, what kind of 1/4 mile times you running with that set up

lol thats the same **** that happened to me. my first run was the 14.1 the second was a 17 something. i guess your clutch slipped going into 2. thats what mine always did. i ended up wrecking that car then just bought another with a bad clutch too.

your exhaust sounds good as **** though
