HOW MUCH MORE R.W.H.P FROM HEADERS AND TUNE


Recommended Posts

HEY GUYS, JUST GOT MY NEW 08SGT0123 AND WANT MORE POWER.

 

BESIDES ADDING A SUPER CHARGER WHAT MODS CAN GIVE ME MORE HORSE POWER. I HAVE

 

ALREADY THOUGH OF UNDER DRIVE PULLEYS FROM STEEDA , BUT I WILL EVENTUALLY BE

 

SUPER CHARGING THE CAR WHEN SHELBY CALLS ME IN. SO IN THE SHORT TERM PULLEYS

 

WOULD BE A WASTE OF MONEY

 

 

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A BETTER INTAKE TUBE THAN THE STOCK ONE WHICH LOOKS VERY

 

RESTRICTIVE. I SAW A GOOD ONE THAT STEEDA MAKES. I ALSO WOULD LIKE

 

TO DO HEADERS AND A X-PIPE WITH 3 INCH CAT-BACK EXHAUST.

 

 

HOW MUCH R.W.H.P. CAN I EXPECT FROM HEADERS , INTAKE TUBE AND A

 

3 INCH CAT-BACK AND NEW TUNE.

 

 

DOES ANYBODY HAVE SOME REAL WORLD HORSE POWER NUMBERS AND THE PRODUCT

 

NAMES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH HEADERS X-PIPE, 3" CATBACK AND A TUNE.

 

THANKS, SCOTTY

The Steeda intake tube is nothing but a cosmetic modification. You will see no HP gains.

Again, your SGT has an x-pipe already. I'm not sure of the HP gains of changing that x-pipe to a 3" setup.

Long tubes will yield you the highest gains of anything you've listed. What about smog?

I'm not sure how much the hp gains will be on a N/A setup with longtubes but they are something you can do now that will definitely help when you add the sc.

I had Brenspeed do the following on my 08 SGT 5 speed

 

KOOKS LT headers

KOOKS Cats/Xpipe

CORSA axle backs

Steeda under pullies

Motion delete plates

COMP thumper Cams/Phaser kit

SXT tuner

 

328 RWHP = ~ 385 HP at the flywheel

 

I am extremely happy with performance and sound.

You and I have similar setups. Instead of long tubes, I have JBA shortys.

I have the stock x-pipe and FRPP axle backs. Under drive pullies and motion charge plates have yet to be installed.

I also have the Comp XFI VSR (stage 2) cams/springs. Lastly, a custom tune with SCT Livewire and FRPP 4:10's.

I'm pulling 337 RWHP. So I think that ought to illustrate pretty well how little of a difference an aftermarket x-pipe makes compared to the stock SGT x-pipe.

Good luck.

EDIT: 3 posts in as many days with the exact same question? Our boards will be pretty cluttered at this rate.
