Looks like I am going to go with Bassani headers and X-pipe with cats.Any idea of what kind of power I may get out of this combo?I am opening up the exhaust thinking I will get more out of the VT stage 2 heads and blower cams I am getting.Any thoughts on the combo?
 
I've been thinking about going the same route except I want the bassani x without cats. How hard are the headers to install and do you have to retune the car after installing the headers?
 
From what I have read the install isn't too bad.Just need a lift and to raise the engine up 4-6 inches I believe on the drivers side.I am not sure about a tune.I am planning on a second tune with the 14lb pulley and 100 octane.So I will probably get another for 92 octane also.
 
you had better get a retune with new headers.

i'm having installed here soon bassani mid lengths to add to my bassani o/r x pipe --> borlas. KB says you will see little to no power gain with header mods...i plan to gain something for my money. post results when i get them.

No mention of a new lower end, you must like to live on the edge. ;)
