Need your opinion please

Okay,My question to you!What would be better to install?LE5 intake manifold?Or header/Dp combo.What will I see more power out of?Keep in mind,I already have a heavily ported stock exhaust manifold which im 07 so it doesnt have the restrictive"D" collector,with a catless stock Dp.So what am I gonna see more of a gain out of?the 2.4 mani or header/dp.poll will be up soon.

head/dp hands down.. a suggestion would be to get the clear image tri-y header and d/p combo. it sounds amazing. im actually thinkin bout upgradin my zzp combo to the clear image stuff.

even ported the stock stuff cant match what a header can do.

Manifold is cheaper, and easier to install, plus youre not re-doing a mod you already made.

HP difference is not much, but the Intake mani proly just wins.
