7afe hp question Options

A local shop is going to get back to me on custom exhaust prices from the header back and cat back. I have a 7afe and was wondering what gains i'd get from a complete header back? I know cat back is mostly for sound and looks with little gains on our "economy" cars, but will headers and all give me a noticable difference?

Whats the benefit of having a cold air intake over my short ram? I used to have one but it was placed where road crap would hit it so i was constantly cleaning it. So thats why I've gone with my short ram. if there is an actual benefit I'll look into positioning it again in a different spot.

the benefit of having a cold air intake is that it actually does something good for your car. if you think about it... your short ram is sucking as much air as your cold air but the difference is that ur ram air is just sucking in all the hot air that is collected in ur engine bay so your not really getting anything but a cool sound. but cold air goes down into the bumper away from all the engine heat to suck in actual COLD AIR. hence the name.... so even though cold air may be more expensive its definately worth it. you will actually get horsepower gains rather than just a sound. which is wut ur going for i presume with your header-back instead of cat-back exhaust set up.
