Exhaust Opinion, worth it or not? Options

[Raves44]

so i have been poking around a while and i was considering doing an exhaust on my car. now if i was going to do this it would mos deff be the whole deal from the manifold back. only question is, is it worth it? its a 7afe but im not sure how restrictive the stock exhaust is. Im really only expecting a couple horse at the most but just wondering if its enough of a difference if i should. if so what size is a good suggestion because i dont want my car to sound like a pissed off chainsaw haha im not in this for the sound so thanks guys

You'll see a 5hp gain... maybe. Most likely closer to 3. The amount of money you'll end up spending to get it to be clean (ie. real headers (not ebay), enlarged piping to 2.25, new resonator, new muffler, new hi-flow cat) will outweigh the extra horsepower.

That being said, the Rippmods header definitely livened up my powerband, and the greddy SP2 sounds nice and deep.
